do you think this could be bipolar disorder

[sweetdolly]

my husband has been going through patterns of severe deppresion for a few days then a severe burst anger with hitting me threatning me , then he is fine for a day or two with all kinds of energy ,then back to the deppresion and then flipping out , also he is so interested in looking at naked women all the time. he blames all these actions on me , he says i made him this way. could this be bipolar

If he is hitting you, regardless of his mental state, you need to find safety, you don't want to be a statistic. There are women's shelters and safe houses. If you feel in danger call 911, tell them about his mental state, there are usually special units to deal with psychiatric issues, but he definitely needs help. You do as well, so that you can find your own safety. Being hit is not okay.

Its possible but what's more important is that because he is physically abusive that you seperate from him. He does appear to need psychiatric help and a psychiatrist could better determine exactly what is going on but if he is impacting on you in that manner regardless of where its coming from your safety and emotional well being comes first.
