    Is he bipolar?
    I think my boyfriend is bipolar. He has some of the symptoms like sometimes he tells me that he feels better than everyone else. Sometimes when I talk to him he feels depressed and low and then the next minuet he's happy and hyper. He also told me that he has "racing thoughts" and finds it hard to concentrate and when he thinks about something he can't keep up with his own thoughts. I'm worried about him and I've told him that I think he could be bipolar but he denies it. Could he be bipolar? Or am I just worrying about nothing? And he's 16.

    Any help would be nice.

    Hi, I think you should talk to your parents and perhaps your parents can talk to his parents. Only a professional can diagnose such symptoms. He could have tyroid problems, hormonal changes, or even worst, substance abuse. The best thing to do is to convince him to tell his parents or a school counselor or teacher. Don't judge him, be supportive and make sure you tell your parents or one of your school teachers. Good luck! Take care!

    You should definitely encourage him to seek a therapist. This way, the professional can correctly diagnose him.

    I convinced my boyfriend to see a doctor and it turns out he has depression. So now he's going to be seeing a psychiatrist.
    Thanks for your help
