Hi, I frequently visit the healingwell.com "bipolar"board.
I've had lots of ppl say that bipolar/manic depression are definately connected.
A lot of times bipolar/manic depression/clinical depression and/or ADD can be triggered by epilepsy or the anti-convulsive meds.
Some of the symptoms include.....paranoia.......aggresive and/or violent behavior.......no respect........no motivation...........no initiative.......always want to sleep......poor eating habits......spending money just for the sake of spending...etc.
Very often kids get into trouble with the law etc. and everybody is quick to call him a bad kid when it is an undiagnosed medical problem that can be treated with meds.
I have an 18 year old son that was dianosed with "Bi-Polar" (manic depression) when he was 12 and he has been putting this family through hell.
So, seeing it for myself as well as the feedback I've had from other ppl, I definately feel that the two are connected.
