Showing Original Post only (View all)I think a family member is manic and bi-polar and it is scaring [View all]
me to death. I think I know the symptoms. Mood change. Grandiose ideas. Shouting to the edge of violence. I can Google the symptoms and I also have another relative diagnosed as bi-polar but if it's in you home and close it's hard to tell or understand if it's real.
