My fiance (age 51) had an abusive dad. He did have a great mom though. He says he is ADD, and that he has gone thru depressions. I did some research on his symptoms and concluded he has OC personality disorder, which is somewhat different that OCD. My sister is wondering if he is bipolar after I described him to her. I am wondering what you all think. He has taken antidepressants in the past, but they kill his sex drive he says. His OCD stuff involves being a complete neat freak, and having to order belongings in certain ways. It takes him hours to complete a simple task because he has to clean up and organize it to death. For example we were going on a 15 hour trip and needed to leave by a decent hour like 8 a.m. He stayed up till 2 a.m. and never packed the night before; then did chores all day that could have waited till we got back; then took a long time packing (shoes go in their own separate plastic bags; everything folded a certain exact way); then we did not get off till 3p.m. Then he blew up at me when I wanted to drive straight though. He is very loving and sweet much of the time, but then turns on me over some dumb thing and rants and raves;he has punched a door once. Then he apologizes and is nice. Other times he gets weird silly, laughing and joking and chitter chattering; at first he reminds me of Robin Williams but then he becomes annoying. Once when he was like this we were grocery shopping and he made silly faces thru the grocery window; then was loud and silly; then raced down the aisles opening stuff and saying dumb things. Other times he is quiet and very serious; he's usually angry at those times. He does okay if he is under no pressure of any kind. When there is pressure or conflict he yells, screams, and way over reacts. Got any ideas what this is?Could any medications help him?
