What can come of someone w manic depression keeping it a secret and leaving it untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing good.: It can worsen over time. A person with manic depression may have poor impulse control and lack of judgment. If untreated they may end up taking an action that they regret for the rest of their life. Bipolar disorder needs treatment.
