seasons and manic episodes

[determined2beatit]

Does anyone notice that this time of year you tend to have manic episodes? I wonder if they are seasonal as well. Every year in the fall I get depressed and the spring ,early summer I become manic!

I tend to get hypomanic in the spring and summer as well. I guess the increase in daylight contributes to it. I enjoy it while it lasts :) It helps me get things done!

I know what you mean about benefitting from the energy!! problem for me is it doesn't last long before I start to get very agitated and irritable!
Thanks for the note! Have a nice day!

i am the same way as you,  so my summer is out of wack especially with the hot summer months plus accompanied by severe migraines and hostile moods

My psych. has told be that seasons seem to play a part with bipolar phases.  I know that I'm am currently fighting a manic phase.  Two years ago I went through a manic phase that nearly destroyed me.  So to answer your question I'm sure season's play a part with the bipolar disorder.

Thanks for the input..I do believe the seasons have a play in this! I guess it's better than being really depressed Thanks to all of you!!
