Warning Signs of Bipolar Disorder

Mom: Crying non-stop and he never slept. He took two naps in his life and I have proof because I took pictures of him because I was so shocked. He never slept; he slept through the night for the first time when he was three years old.

Cody: I was just bored; I wouldn’t want to talk to anybody. I was really anti-social. I would be angry at my dogs a lot.

Mom: He had mood swings, mostly anger though, he was quick to anger and then he’d laugh, and then he was really aggressive. It was mostly the aggressiveness.
