All mental illnesses are dangerous in their own right. Out of all of them, bipolar is the top tier when it comes to the most dangerous,mental illness. Bipolar disorder is a condition that involves the psyche. People with the condition experience mood swings, often described as manic.

They can also experience severe depression. Psychologists label it as a dangerous condition, because those with the condition have a change of becoming dangerous or violent, even in times when they have never had a violent history. It is estimated that 15% of people with the disorder have had one episode that has turned violent.

I don't really think bipolar disorder is the most dangerous, but the fact is that bipolar disorder is one of the most dangerous mental disorders. A staggering number of people are really suffering from bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is usually associated with extreme mood swings and a kind of feeling that makes you feel very emotional as a result of an ugly incident experienced by the victim.

When someone is feeling depressed, such a person will start having a feeling of hopelessness to the point that different kinds of thoughts that are not a product of clear judgment will start coming in. Bipolar disorder is dangerous because it can cause a lot of life-threatening health problems. Bipolar disorder of whatever types makes you very energetic agitated to the point that the more you think about certain issues of your life, the more you start feeling so energetic to take some drastic steps.

People with bipolar disorder are most times labeled “dangerous or violent,” even if there was no history of been violent. Bipolar disorder can be complicated. Bipolar is a psychiatric condition characterized by mood swings between great energy (mania) and clinical depression. Estimates of 15% of people with bipolar disorder have had at least one violent episode.

This happens when they reach extreme moods. However, many people with bipolar have never experienced dangerous situations. The use of drugs, drug abuse, and emotional stress can trigger dangerous situations in these people. It is important to know and watch out for symptoms that might indicate that a person with bipolar might experience a violent episode. This will help to avoid dangerous events.
