I hate this becasue everyone thinks that I'am lying to them when really I am not. I asked my doctor if it is becasue of my bipolar disorder and he said no. I went online and every one who thinks that they are experts on Yahoo Answers and other sites like those say that I am lying. Its really irritating. does anyone here have bipolar disorder or depression and get dialated pupils ever? I know it sounds crazy but yeah, its irritating. In highschool my teachers thought I was high and stuff.
I was just wondering why this happens and if it happens to anyone else.
Thanks'

Hey RomanJames,
When I very first start having a panic attack and during my attack, my eyes dialate so much that you can't hardley see the brown in them. It looks like I'm higher than a kite. My doctor says it's a normal response to fear. Just like a person's eyes will dialate when they are aroused they willl dialate with a panic attack. I don't know if oyu have alot of anxiety or not, but if oyu do that could be the reason for the dialation.
