Do mood swings after a miscarriage indicate bipolar disorder?
Hello doctor,
I have got some concerns about my sister. She is 28 years old and recently had a miscarriage. Since then, she is been on a rollercoaster of emotions. Sometimes she is down, talking about feeling gloomy and even having suicidal thoughts. But then, out of the blue, she will be super happy and full of energy. I did some reading and came across something called bipolar disorder. It seems like it might explain her extreme mood swings. I am really worried about her and I am not sure what to do. Could you tell me more about bipolar disorder? What are the symptoms she might be experiencing? And most importantly, how can we help her?
Thank you.
