After my manic/psychotic episode the rage was overwhelming. Luckily I had a few ppl in my life that I could share my thoughts with, without them judging me. It made all the difference. I knew I wouldn't act on my violent thoughts-it's just not me-and my friends knew that.
But I was miserable. I prefer depression to the rage anytime.
Seroquel was the med that's been helpful.
Good luck
