Reflecting back on the case of Carol Bishop in the text, do you think it is common for
someone with bipolar disorder to deny they have the illness? Provide examples of Carol’s
response to her symptoms of bipolar disorder to support your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested response:
? Yes;
? As can be seen with Carol, most people do not recognize that they are ill;
? They may feel euphoric and grandiose, and incapable of understanding why
you do not share their worldview; for example when Carol was asked about
her sleeping habits, she did not seem troubled and commented that sleeping
was for old people;
? Individuals may engage in high risk behaviors such as taking on multiple
sexual partners, (Note Carol's attitude about this behavior and not
consistently using protection when she comments, "Nothing bad has
happened, so why bother?") or they may travel impulsively to other places;
? Judgment is impaired; for example Carol has been spending a great deal of
money;
? Unfortunately, suicidal risk is the highest immediately following the manic
episode.
