with Bipolar Disorder

Welcome to Bipolar Central

Dear Friend,

I'm glad you have visited my site because this site provides the most comprehensive collection of information related to bipolar disorder. Whether you or a loved one has bipolar disorder, you need this information now and you won't find most of it on any other site. Also, make sure you sign up for my FREE breaking news on bipolar disorder.

How did I get to know so much? Well, that's a long story and to learn the details, I invite you to read my bio. However, I can tell you that I grew up with a mother who had bipolar disorder and that when her situation recently became much worse, I decided to put everything on hold to find out more about the disorder so that I could help her become stable.

What I learned from helping my mother was that there are many, many topics that most books, articles, and web sites don't discuss - debt, finances, personal development, health - that are critical to your or your loved one's success against the disorder. That's why I've included all of this information here so that it is readily available to you whenever you need it.

As you read through the site - and I hope that you will - you'll notice that my opinions don't always agree with what some experts and doctors say. That's because most of those experts and doctors have NEVER lived with someone who has it.

But the site isn't about questioning the opinions of so-called experts, it's about helping you learn from my mistakes so that you don't have to waste years and thousands of dollars in order to discover the secrets to getting the disorder under control. That's the goal of this web site and of all my work.

Your Friend,

David Oliver

Are People with Bipolar Disorder Dangerous?
by David Oliver

Many people have asked me, "Are people with bipolar disorder dangerous?" It seems to be a common misconception among those who are supporters or society in general. I'd like to address that concept in this article.

First of all, very few people with bipolar disorder are dangerous. Only half the people with mania have psychotic symptoms at some point in their lifetime.

A bipolar manic episode with psychotic features can include paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions. Instead of being "over-ecstatic" as is commonly concluded about a person in a manic episode; the person may, instead, be agitated, irritable, and short-tempered. Usually, these manic symptoms are not dangerous or scary (except to the person experiencing them).
