To BIPOLARS……..?

Is there a relation between manic depression (especially type I) and schitzofrenia??can a manic depressive end up turning into a schizofreniac??does any of you know about this issue??

Neither one will cause the other, but it's very possible for them to exist together.

A direct link? I don't think so. Is it possible? Yes mental disorders can often be much like a nerve disorder. Once a problem begins it can feed into other problems and disorders.

it is commen for severe manic depressives to have periods of schizophrenia, go see your doctor if its bad.

They can also be misdiagnosed one for the other

the cause for schizophrenia is unknown - it's not caused by any one thing. it's been found the severe stress sometimes leads to schizophrenia though, so the stress caused by bipolar disorder COULD lead to schizophrenia, but really, anyone could end up schizophrenic.

I AM BIPOLAR & MY SISTER BEFORE SHE DIED OF USE OF ZYPREXA WAS SCHIZOFRENIAC I ASKED MY DR IF IT WAS POSSABLE IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME, SHE SAID IF IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN EARLY ADULTHOOD WHEN MY BIPOLAR SYMPTOMS APPEARED I BELIEVE THERE IS A GENITIC LINK BETWEEN THE 2 NOW I AM RAISING A SON W/ ADHD, ITS ALL CONNECTED IN THE GENES
