Patient discussion about consultantship.

Q. My friend refuses to accept that he is a bipolar and not willing to consult a doctor. I met my college mate yesterday. He used to be lively during college days and those green days are still in my memory. But shockingly, he is showing different symptoms as I get a strong doubt that something bad must have happened to him. I can only identify him with his appearance but he is showing a different mannerism which has confused me a lot. Can people change or show different identity as days pass by? He is showing hopelessness and great mood disorders. I doubt him to be bipolar. He refuses to accept that he is a bipolar and not willing to consult a doctor. Can I pressurize him for treatment?

Q. I suspect that I may have Bipolar. I have not consulted with anyone so far. I am confused. I am suffering from emotional stress for quite some time and I realized that things are going out of my control. I suspect that I may have Bipolar. I have not consulted with anyone so far but I would like to know am I a bipolar?

A. Look, diagnosing a bipolar (as well as other diseases, psychiatric as well as other types) requires a bit more than two sentences. Emotional stress isn't bipolar- but then, I don't know how you've acted and all the other things one must assess before diagnosing a bipolar disorder.

You can try to read more here (www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/bipolardisorder.html) and then have a better idea of this disorder, and in any case, if you think things aren't right, then consulting a doctor (e.g. a psychiatrist) may be wise.

Q. We have not consulted a physician yet. I need some guidance and suggestion. My mom aged 54 is under depression for the past 4 years. Often she gets angry for unwanted issues and is alone. Is this due to age factor? We have not consulted a physician yet. I need some guidance and suggestion.

A. Hi, Anger is an emotional outcome as young one too gets angry for silly issues. This has nothing to do with the age rather maturity goes with the age. As your mom is getting older, she could have been affected psychologically. May be you need to spend quality time with your mom and engage her in spiritual or other activities of her interest? According to the National Institutes of Health, out of 35 million people aged 65 or above, about 2.5 million suffer from full-blow depression and 5 million suffer from less severe forms of depression. My dad after taking anti-depressant is normal and enjoying life. I shall suggest you to consult a physician without any more delay.
