Patient discussion about pentastarch.

Q. i have a ex boyfriend who is 57 i think hes a alcoholic or something or bipolar.. his personality flip flops. well wondering what is causing this maybe midlife crisis .. i asked something is going on... he thinks he's fine.

A. Does he make irresponsible decisions regarding money, job, etc.? Does he have exalted mood? Does he acts dangerously; being sure he can't be harmed?

Personality changes are indeed suggestive of bipolar. If you think he does have bipolar, than consulting a psychiatrist may be wise, since this disease can be diagnosed by him or her and there's a quite successful treatment.
