Men and women share the same symptoms of bipolar disorder, with a few differences. For one, men tend to develop the bipolar disorder at a much earlier age, and their first episode is usually mania. Men also tend to have more severe bipolar symptoms and are more prone to manic episodes than women. During these manic episodes, men tend to act out more by doing things like fighting, yelling and drinking, which can lead to jail time or hospitalization. Men with bipolar disorder are also more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol to cope with their illness. Finally, even though men have more severe bipolar symptoms, they are less likely than women to voluntarily seek help for their disorder, putting them at greater risk for suicide than women. So that's what my doctor thinks ABOUT YOU HE IS SO RIGHT."BIPOLAR"
