A member asked:

What is a bipolar personality and how does it affect a persons quality of life in the absence of doctor medication (by choice)?

Dr. Krishna Kumar answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Relationship Turmoil: You are a caring Person! There is No Diagnosis of Bipolar Personality. Diagnosis of Personality Disorder can only be made by a Psychiatrist or Psychologist in the office. Feel good about your concern for the person; you can express your concern about the person’s quality of life on a nice card for the New Year.
