If you are Bipolar but are not being treated is it possible to commit a sexual act that is very inappropriate. One that in a normal state of mind would never be commited. Could being under a lot of stress add to you commiting this crime if you are Bipolar and not treated.
Also people that suffer from Bipolar do their highs sometimes include being very irrational? Do they agree with something one moment then later disagree with it become aggervated. Then lead into a depressed state/feelings of unworthiness wanting to die.
If you are Bipolar could alot of stress in your life like the loss of a job behind in bills and losing a vehicle bring on a severe state of depression?
