I hope I'm not bothering anyone by asking this, but I would really like to know something. If someone is extremely manic and it turns into psychosis, does anyone know whether the person who is psychotic remembers what they did in that state, once they have come down? Thanks for any help.

I remember too. Sometimes I'd rather forget.

Thanks for your information. I was hoping he wouldn't remember, so it wouldn't bother him. But I guess he, I and the pros will deal with it. He's freshly diagnosed as bipolar at 58.

I remember generally only some specific. I tend to focus on people's voices/ facial expressions of fear, shock, horror, and disappointment.

Thanks. When I speak to him he doesn't mention anything about what has happened. Yesterday he said 'one day we'll laugh over this' which, I fear he is maybe not realizing how seriously ill he was. It's very confusing for me. I appreciate everyone who has answered.

I never see the magnitude even after the fact. Even my husband doesn't see the magnitude that our therapists and psychiatrist (even here on PC) try to get us to understand.

He could have been trying to "deflect" the situation that happened. It can be tough to come out the other side of psychosis and want to face everything that happened ..Therapy can help him process it all and learn from it.

Yes. I finally saw him for the first time after being hospitalized. He is still extremely delusional. But very upbeat and happy. I was trying to get him not to give the money his sister gave him for groceries on the homeless he saw. My therp said she understands why I wanted to see him but limit the visits until he's more stable. Again, he thinks he's been cured from the med they put him on and doesn't realize that there is anything wrong.
