Before I found the right "cocktail" of medications I was on a roller coaster of mood swings that I had no control over. I would drop down into deep depressions, sometimes becoming suicidal, and then at times fly high going with no sleep for days on end, getting angry and hypersexual. If he is on medications recently, they take a little while to work and sometimes it takes some trying of different medications to find what will work. If he is not yet on medications, he will continue to experience these mood swings until he is stabilized with them. How fortunate he is to have you in his life, that you are willing to want to understand and be supportive. I suggest that you read about the disorder to educated yourself. That will help you know what to expect and how to help. With God, all things are possible
