Bipolar Disorder Sign #5: Inflated Ego
It is important that we value our self-worth to a reasonable degree. It is only right that we should recognize our achievements and worth in society, and that other people should treat us with a degree of respect. While this can be a problem with depression, the reverse can be true in bipolar disorder.
During a manic episode, the patient can feel as though they are far more important that they are in reality. They can feel as though they are the most important person in the room and that everybody else should fall into line. This has the potential to place considerable strain on relationships, and can potentially lead to conflict with strangers.
