    Being a substance abuser does not help.

      Being Bipolar is just random mood swings that in some cases involve bouts of rage. Being bipolar I can honestly say that most of us would kill ourselves before we would kill others, but not true in all cases. Here is some info on bipolar disorder...  en.wikipedia.org

        Bipolar disorder comes from being abused mentally,physically,verbally,& emotionally. But to answer your question, yes if they are not on medication & something triggers it like whatever happened in the past to that person. You have the right to be scared, but you also have the right to educate & protect yourself about this illness if you want to help him. Better safe than sorry. My child has bipolar disorder along with adhd & manic depression because of her past with my mother, so I'm only speaking from experience. So don't be afraid of getting educated on this illness or someone may get hurt. He needs to keep a therapist & psychiatrist & also
        the right meds & a lot of strength! Good luck & hope everything works out for you guys. Bye!

        You do not have to be abused mentally, physically, verbally, or emotionally to be Bipolar. This is simply untrue. I am Bipolar and have been relatively stable on meds for years, and I have no history of abuse that would cause me to Bipolar....but I do agree with you that he needs to seek out medical help.

        I  have done research on bipolar disorder and learned that committing suicide or homicide is something that is a possibility but there is a chance of killing someone without having this disorder as you see many have done.

        Bipolar is an ongoing condition. Medication may help balance out the behavior. You didn't say whether the drugs he's taking are his medications or street drugs. He may be extreme again and in a relationship you are the one who will be there having to deal with it. What is the detox for... Alcohol, street drugs? If you're frightened I'd suggest waiting a while and if you still feel good about him and the relationship, if you want, move forward with it when he's created more balance in his life. Meanwhile, find out about the drugs in his life and the condition and what role you'll play in his life. What is the commitment you'll have to each other?  If there's an addiction... Wait. No matter what, I'd say don't move forward into the relationship if it doesn't feel safe for you.

          Yes I do believe a bipolar person could kill.  I knew a girl as i grew up that was bipolar but no one knew about it until she was in her 40's and she killed her baby girl.  She said she heard a voice say to kill the baby.  When her husband came home from work he found the baby dead but she had been bathed and beautifully dressed.  The mother got prison time but is out on good behavior.

          Helping him would be a good idea if you love him but you also have to think about your safety. If you feel endangered you should probably tell him to get better and prove to you he can do it then when he's better get back together. Also you can see if he feels the same way about you because if he does this detox then he did it partially for you.

          I think it really depends on the individual myself. I have a stepson that is bipolar and is prone to violent outbursts towards others, he did try to kill me, his dad and my oldest son a few times. I do not believe that it comes from abuse of any form considering he was never abused in any way.


          Yes there is medication for it but it does not always work. The one thing that I found with my stepson is that it does not take much to set him off into a violent rage. I myself would not stick around and you do not want to get involved to a point that you get pregnant, it can be passed on in the genes.
