Trying to teach myself here, sounds like bipolar can cause suicidal thoughts and bipolar causes manic episodes but what if they overlap, is this normal or not.

Bipolar episodes can overlap. I have felt mania and depression at the same time. Bipolar depression can definately cause suicidal thoughts just like regular depression can. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Yes, I think this would not be too terribly unusual, but I would think that more suicidal thoughts would come when one is in a depressive mood rather than when in a manic episode . .

My best peace, love, and good vibes to you,

Cool Cat . . 🙂 . .
