What Are The Symptoms Of Bipolar Disorder?

My husband is exhibiting signs of bipolar mania. But he is also being obsessive about cleaning and clearing out clutter. His memory is not good either. The psychiatrist wants to refer him to a neurologist for a work-up. What kinds of conditions could they be looking for?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Neurology reference is usually taken to rule out any organic cause. Sometime these symptoms can be caused due to underlying brain pathology like brain injury, any mass in brain etc. Treating the underlying condition becomes more important in such cases. To be in safer side its always better to rule out all possibilities.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
