What Causes Depression,aggressive Behavior And Suicidal Thoughts?

I THINK I MAY HAVE BI-POLAR. EVERY TIME I AM WITH MY PARTNER WE GET INTO AN ARGUEMENT. I END UP SHOUTING AT HIM AND AM OUT OF CONTROL. HE HAS A BRAIN INJURY. HE ALSO SHOUTS AND GETS OUT OF CONTROL. I GO FROM HAPPY, TO UPSET, TO ANGRY, TO SHOUTING, TO DEPRESSION, TO FEELING INSANE, TO SUICIDAL IDEATION, ALL IN AN HOUR OR SO, THEN I USUALLY CRY HARD, THEN FEEL OK, UNTIL IT ALL HAPPENS AGAIN. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE BI-POLAR??

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

I had gone through your query.

Bipolar disorder has two phase. one is depression and 2nd is manic phase.

Treatment is necessary to maintain in euthymic phase that are between these two.

Mood stabilizer play important role in bipolar disorder.
It can be treated with sodium valporate ,lithium or low dose olanzapine etc.

Aggression can be controlled with anti psychotic and mood can be controlled with mood stabilizers.

Proper psychological evaluation is necessary before any treatment.

So consult psychiatrist and get further assistance.

I hope i have answered your query.

Thank you.
