I'm not Bipolar but my husband was just recently diagnosed with Bipolar, at the ripe old age of 67. Go figure! One of his symptoms are uncontrollable rages. Since he's been put on Depakote, they seem to be more managable... sorta. He claims he doesn't feel it coming. All of a sudden, he's just throwing things and wanting to kick the dog for no reason. It's really scary!
