Hi everybody,
i am new here and i’m already asking for
your help. I’m a psychology student and
i’m about to start my final year project
on bipolar disorder. The results of my
piece of research may improve the
understanding of bipolar condition and
improve therapy techniques. The ultimate
aim of course is to reduce human
suffering..
I have personal reasons to be interested
in this because my boyfriend is bipolar
and I do know what it can be like and we
have been through some really rough times
together but we’re still going… anyway, I
am specialising in clinical psychology and
the question i’m trying to answer is this:
why do people with bipolar disorder engage
in risk taking, e.G. Going on shopping
sprees, engaging in casual sex, taking
recreational drugs/excessive drinking,
driving too fast, etc.? It might seem
like a simple question but I have racked
my brain thinking about it. That’s why I
am asking for your help, guys. I need
your ideas. Detailed accounts of how you
felt before and during manic episode(s)
involving dangerous/risky activities would
be greatly appreciated. Basically,
anything you can come up with will be a
great help.
thank you.
Alice
p.S. If you have any questions about my
project, or anything else please feel free
