Psychosis can occur as part of bipolar illness. However, I don’t know the specifics of this case.
I have bipolar disorder.
Might as well out myself. I am on a medication called Seroquel, which works,
My bipolar mania never was violent, just very productive. My bipolar depression (which was misdiagnosed at first) docs put me on anti-mania meds...caused me to throw into a depression and I took ALL of the anti-depressant meds plus a giant bottle of Tylenol PM. I did this in 2005.
I miraculously survived the overdose (I wasn’t a weenie...I took it and woke up two days later)...and THEN called an ambulance....
What I mean to say is...I was serious. I didn’t want attention...when I took those drugs...I thought they would kill me.
They didn’t.
And at the time I took them I had been misdiagnosed.
Now that I am properly diagnosed...NOT THAT I LIKE IT...but I’m properly diagnosed...
I take the medication prescribed and I live day to day....
I write. In another place.
I understand people who live with brains that aren’t predictable. They are my people.
