Answer 1

That is not bipolar disorder. I don't know if it's normal, but it's not Bipolar. I see there's an element of mania there, but it's not a complete picture to make a diagnosis. You should do a bipolar disorder symptom check list. Here is one good, concise excerpt:

" What is Bipolar Mood Disorder?
Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs. Some people are more moody - they have bigger and more frequent ups and downs than others. For people with Bipolar Mood Disorder, mood swings become extreme. They swing from peaks of tremendous elation and excitement to terrible pits of despair and sadness. This used to be called "manic depression", or, more properly, Manic Depressive Illness. In Australia, approximately two out of every hundred people are affected. Bipolar Disorder is more common in people in their twenties.

Some people suffering from Bipolar Disorder do not experience the depressed episodes, although this is rare.

Mania
Symptom Checklist
(Symptoms will vary from person to person)

Elevated moods – feeling very happy and having lots of energy
Increased energy
Not needing to sleep
Irritability and anger
Rapid thinking and speech
Lack of control. For example, buying things one doesn't need, having sex with lots of people
Unrealistic plans/ideas
Lack of insight - not being aware that one's behaviour is out of control or extreme
Depression
Symptom Checklist
- (Symptoms will vary from person to person)
Loss of interest in most things
Withdrawal
Avoidance of simple tasks
Loss of appetite or weight
Inability to sleep
Feeling tired all the time
Inability to concentrate
Feeling worthless or guilty
Feeling that life is not worth living
Normal Moods
People suffering from Bipolar Mood Disorder can still have normal moods. When the moods become extreme a person will need to see a doctor. "

Better yet, go to a doctor to be sure.

Answer 2

No music cannot trigger a bipolar disorder. One who is bipolar is born with the disease and it usually doesn't manifest itself until the onslaught of puberty.There are varying degrees of this disease but I would have to say that music can control the state of the persons mind. Sad music will initiate depression much quicker than in a normal person. A Bipolar person will get agitated under a clashing and raucous form of music more so than a normal person. Heavy Metal, and demonic music will also contribute to a more hostile mind in a Bipolar person.
We are born with it and it can not be cured so what we do is control it with prescribed drugs and a proper atmosphere to live in.Like bright sunshine, understanding company and avoiding foods that contribute to depressions and anxiety.
Music can load on a lot of stress that we don't need, and it can influence our emotions more that the norm. However it cannot trigger a bipolar disorder.

Eh... That is a tricky one. I was actually misdiagnosed Bipolar, but then rediagnosed as BPD. Borderline Personality Disorder is a personality disorder, that develops within your childhood, depending on your emotional development- it involves excessive mood swings, and many personality function issues that is greatly impacted, and triggered by the people you interact with. BPD is also a controversial condition- many believe that Borderline is not real. Because it is a mild, or not completely developed disorder of MPD- or Multiple Personality Disorder, because you do not have alter egos.. Many doctors believe these conditions do not exist. Biploar Disorder is a chemical imbalance, that many believe develops at birth- it involves three stages- including a level stage, depressive stage, and manic stage.. BPD, and Bipolar both have the stigma of having mood swings- but Bipolar mania comes in stages, as BPD mania is unpredictable, and is determined by the regulation, or dysfunction of your emotional state. However, neither illnesses are curable- only treatable by medication, and therapy. I would think BPD symptoms, along with Bipolar Disorder- such as Black, and white thinking. Splitting/ disassociation comes at stages- and many excessive, and impulsive urges, and behaviors are triggered by how you react emotionally with others. But it is very tricky, and complicated to pinpoint two mental disorders that coexist with each other, when they both include similar symptoms. They almost compromise each other.. from the opinion of my psychologist, Biploar/ BPD can not usually coexist together- and being that Bipolar Disorder is the most commonly misdiagnosed mental disorder in the psychiatric field, it could be incorrectly diagnosed.. Many of those with BPD, have a second mental illness that coexists with being Borderline. Anxiety, and Depression are the most common. But Bipolar Disorder is just as unstable, and unpredictable as BPD. It could also be Depression/ BPD- also be sure to realize that Bipolar Disorder includes a lot of symptoms that mimic, or are similar to many other mental disorders, or visa versa. I would get the opinion of a third doctor. It can take years to correctly diagnose a person. I am not saying it is real, it could just be a misconception, or hard to track down, and understand. Good luck..

Bipolar disorder is when a person has EXTREME mood epidsodes, called mania and depression. These episodes last weeks or months. People with Bipolar do not switch back and forth from happy to sad etc. The episodes last a long time.

You do not have Bipolar.

It sounds like you are getting really focused on some music and sort-of hypotizing yourself so that you trance out.

Answer 5

My friend, you are not having a BiPolar reaction, you are simply reacting to the music you are listening to. Yes, music can trigger you BiPolar emotions, that is why it is called BiPoler, because your moods change instantly reacting to what is aroung you. I think your body is just telling you to dance, to use your adrenaline. That to may be what is happening, your brain is probably pumping out far too much adrenaline when you hear certain types of music, and when you don't use this adrenaline your body chase, you feel anxious, needing to do something but don't know what. Seriously, just try getting up to dance, or play and instrument like the drums or guitar. Something you can take out you energy on.

Answer 6

YES, music can trigger a bipolar episode! I am bipolar and the first manic episode i ever had was while listening to a very loud live band. You do need to talk to your doctor about this though.

Answer 7

I dated a guy who was bipolar and it was the smallest things that set him off; for example- someone yelling something across the room, strange sounds, an old memory, the tone in someone's voice. It all depends on the person. That could very likely set someone off into those reactions, but you would have to talk to a dr about it.
