A Case Report on Bipolar Disorder

[Trying to finish the entire manuscript before posting. Updates will be extremely slow, possibly years apart. Don't wait for it.] Bipolar disorder, a failed suicide attempt, leaving school and staying at home, becoming a living organ donor, betrayal, and escape. That was Lou Gui at seventeen. His life was filled with absurd, farcical, unbelievable drama. The future was bleak, and the road ahead was rough. Lost and helpless, unable to find meaning in his existence, after being hurt time and time again, he became like a lost wolf cub, harboring an irrational fear and hostility toward the world. He could only bare his fangs and attack everyone around him indiscriminately. After all that biting, he was taken in by the twenty-three-year-old Shen Xiujun. The man was covered in bite wounds, yet he said, "Come with me. I love you." Don't worry about what others say. Go out and take on the world. Put your hand in mine. I'll wander with you, and I'll help you escape. Live for yourself and become who you are. That's the meaning of your existence.

It involves both manic and depressive episodes. Mania does not mean a tendency toward violence. It refers to elevated mood, rapid thinking, increased activity, and a lack of fatigue. For some people, especially men, it can also involve heightened sexuality. The condition depicted in this story is Type II bipolar disorder, with hypomania and severe depression. A patient's mood can swing like a roller coaster, and treatment requires medication. Tips: Mental illnesses affect everyone differently, and medications and dosages vary too. Please don't nitpick or assume this describes you.
