The resemblance for bipolar and addiction totally makes sense. My loved ones first manic psychotic episode was drug induced (she was still having episodes prior, just not full ones and it was unnoticed) and her bf at the time couldn’t tell if the manic episode was psychological or if she was somehow continuing to get high without anyone seeing/knowing. Also, a lot of people with undiagnosed or unmanaged bipolar are or become addicts. The episodes themselves can make it so that you want to be high, and even if someone was not a drug user prior, an episode increases risk seeking behaviour which means a lot of people start using for the first time because of an episode. This can make recovery and illness management extra hard, because not only do they likely have addiction issues but an episode is like an added, uncontrollable layer to the drive to use. As for if people remember what happens during an episode- it really depends on severity and the individual. Some people will remember, some only remember bits and pieces. Ian still continues to be good rep, but i personally find they had him calm down a little too quickly here. That might be personal bias though hahah, the last time my loved one was admitted it took almost a full week of meds+sedation+isolation for her to even start coming back down to a manageable level of function.

Yes, I agree that the comparison of a mental health condition like bipolar disorder, specifically in the manic periods, with addiction is totally valid. Substance use and addiction are a very common symptom of a bipolar patient's manic episodes. As is anything impulsive - shopping, sex, gambling.

I think the reason they had him calm down so fast is that the show is trying to move very fast at this point so all the plots have momentum but it can often lead to unrealistic timelines. I don't have experience with bipolar but I've noticed a lot of shows, including Shameless does this. It's pretty hard to balance all the plots in a nice way when there are so many so I don't blame them. Thanks for your insights. It's always interestting to hear from people with experience.
