Winter mania

[Cameron]

Hi. My son (Bipolar III, clozapine, 19 years old) tends to get manic during the winter. We live in North Dakota. Bipolar literature always says bipolars get depressed in fall and winter and manic in spring and summer but with my son it seems to be the opposite. He starts to show signs of mania in late October and by March it's full blown. Can anybody relate to this or offer a different opinion. Thanks.

My son is bipolar I. Thanks.

Hi Cameron!

I am pretty newly diagnosed with BiPolar 1 and have only been through a couple of seasons. I have had several cycles of Mania and Depression without rhyme or reason.... they just don't make sense to me what is triggering what.

I'm sure someone will come along soon that may have experienced seasonal cycles.

I wish you and your son the best!!!
