[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 74710, member: 1514"] Susie...I beg to disagree that the only person legally qualified to diagnose and provide medical treatment for mentally ill patients is a psychiatrist but that is neither here nor there in this discussion. What has been said about bipolar people and rages is simply untrue. While we may recognize that we be in a rage once we get into one, I dont think any of us set out before hand and planned it like a birthday party. Rages are not fun. It is a very out of control feeling. It is something that simply comes over a person. Different things can trigger it and like another person mentioned, mania can be a trigger that can be very hard for a bipolar person to recognize in themselves. Add into that the awful existence of mixed cycling or rapid cycling and you have a recipe for disaster of meltdowns and rages that are very hard to control. None of this is planned on the part of the bipolar person. It is a medical condition no different than diabetes and you wouldnt blame a diabetic if they went into shock from insulin imbalances.
