I was very depressed and borderline psychotic right For about three week before Easter. Then I had my lowest day of depression on Tuesday. That nighth husband came home in a lot of pain so he was irritable so we got in a fight over something and it ended with him threatening to commit me. The stress from that day spin kicked me into hypomania with full on raging psychosis.

I'm still manic now. Even after six days in inpatient. It goes from hypo in the morning to flat out manic as my meds wear off. So in summation yes stress can induce episodes. Last year I was thrown into a terrible depression from a car crash. Anything is possible. Just be safe, ok?
