Having bipolar mental disorder is something that will affect a person’s way of living and interaction amongst the society. To have those two extremes of emotions, so distant from each other, is something that one cannot foresee when they will be triggered and the actions they will produce. Bipolar disorder often develops in a person's late teens or early adult years. In the case of Evan Perry, symptoms started showing from early age. He had a very meticulous manner, everything needed to be neat and clean. One of the major reactions he had from his disorder was to think about death and to consider it a route of getting out.
His doctor then prescribed anti-depressants that consisted of lithium. Lithium brings you to an emotional level that is flat and plain. Evan then requested to go off the medication because he felt lifeless and convinced his parents he was ready. But after a while, although he was aware of his conditions, he couldn’t control it because bipolar is also a disorder of judgment. At the age of 15, he took his life.
I will never be able to fathom how life is for a bipolar person. Everything that a normal person feels is magnified 1000 times for them and it is really hard to overcome feelings of sadness. Especially since life consists of many ups and downs, how can a bipolar person deal with it? And with medication, is it better to be safe but to feel lifeless?
