Bipolar Disorder Symptoms
Bipolar disorder is characterized by dramatic, intense shifts in mood. When in a down cycle, withdrawal, sadness, and despair are hallmarks of the depression many bipolar people face. On an upswing, extroversion, high energy, and intense joy may accompany what is called the manic period. Different people cycle at different rates — some moods can last weeks or months, others just a few days. At times, symptoms and mood shifts may be so severe that the individual cannot carry out normal daily activities or relationships. Most people with bipolar disorder experience more depression than mania, says Peterson, but all eventually experience both. Symptoms of a depressive period include:
- Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed
- Long periods of worry, sadness, or emptiness
- Tiredness or fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing
- Changes in appetite or sleep
- Restlessness
- Irritability
- Suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts
Symptoms of a manic period include:
- Feeling jumpy or wired
- Extreme irritability
- Long period of feeling very energetic, outgoing, and upbeat
- Racing thoughts
- Talking very fast
- Not needing much (or a normal amount) of sleep
- Excessive/irrational confidence in one’s own abilities
- Poor impulse control (which may lead to overindulgence in sex, shopping, investments, and other high risk decisions.)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder Symptoms
The hallmark of narcissistic personality disorder is an apparent absorption with yourself (narcissism). Because this is a personality disorder, the symptoms are always present to some degree.
Symptoms include:
- Love of self/great self-interest
- Preoccupation with success and power
- Attention seeking
- Boasting or bragging about one’s own achievements often
- Exaggeration of abilities and achievements
- Having unrealistic goals
- Fantasies of success beyond what is likely or possible
- Hypersensitivity to possible slights and insults from others (coupled with what could be an aggressive or angry response)
- Arrogant behavior
- Belief in one’s own uniqueness/entitlement to special treatment
- Difficulty understanding another’s emotions or perspective
