[QUOTE="Steely, post: 35689, member: 3301"] Yes, spring time is documented as a trigger for some BiPolar (BP) patients. Since my son was 4, Spring caused mania. At first I just thought it was allergy related Spring stuff - but now, at age 16, I know it is his illness. This year, his grandpa (my Dad) was diagnosed with brain cancer, the day of daylight savings time - it is about more than he can handle - a major stressor in addition to his mania starting to cycle. AAaahhh! [img]:mad:[/img] Actually, it has been more than I can handle - but that is another story. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/tired.gif[/img] Last year we added black out shades to his windows, and it helped a lot with the cycling - something to think about. As weird as it sounds, mentally it helps to be a bit more prepared for the Spring - I always start researching new medication options around this time, and make sure things are as physically and emotionally as stable as can be. Last year, there was absolutely no cycling - and I felt quite excited. Good luck - and yes, it is a well researched attribute of BiPolar (BP) patients - just like depression can be classified as SAD in some patients. [/QUOTE]
