Someone I know has a huge anger problem. He has broken a remote, a laptop, a chair, another remote, and steals things. One minute he'll be screaming and cursing, and the next minute he'll be saying something sweet, or someone's name to himself in a squeaky voice. (Like when people talk to babies or puppies.) He always talks to himself. Does he have some problem like Bipolar disorder, or something?


Answer:
It sounds like the person may, at the very least, be suffering from a personality disorder. Explosive outbursts can be indicative of mania, but the symptoms you describe sound more like an Axis II diagnosis of a personality disorder.

For the record, "split personality" dual identity disorder, or multiple personality is generally not considered as a valid diagnosis in the field.


Answer:
That sounds like a personality disorder, not bipolar.

Answer:
no….that's not BP. it's probably a split personality.

or other personality disorders.

if he was BP…he'd have a lot more mood swings and he wouldn't be snapping back that fast. i have severe mania,

i don't talk to myself….i mean, i do when i try to rehearse

a speech or to remember something…but i don't have

conversations with myself….

maybe schizophrenia or split personality.
