You seem knowledgeable with the disorder, and i think we are on the same page of realizing the severity of the situation (police will not bring someone in likethis unless they are suicidal or an obvious threat to do serious harm to someone else) and the hope that Rampage gets appropriate treatment. I guarantee he will be a better man and a better fighter if this works out well for him. now that i say this let's hope that our inclinations are correct on Rampage. #17, I did not mean to offend, but i have worked the mental health field for sometime, and i see axis I diagnosis’ range all over the board daily. bipolar just seems to be the flavor of the month, the same ADD/ADHD was 5-10 years ago, etc. Not to get off too much on a tangent, but i think some psychiatrist lean toward a bipolar disorder if the assessment is not clear. not taking anything away from the severity of the disorder, just an observation of the mental health field and the influences that the general public has on it.

Moreover, those with the disorder generally experience manic phases during the summer or due to overwhelming pressure or stress. #16: You obviously don’t realize how common bipolar is.

I am not going to try and diagnose Rampage from this report, but I am sure the mental evaluation he was called in for was not because he was "sad". Then police would only pick Rampage up for a 302 if he was suicidal. now people hear this and think Rampage is crazy, but there are a ton of things that could lead to this. I am betting that the medical eval. he had while in custody the other day was for psychological reasons. It is funny how bi-polar is the flavor of the month for mental health diagnosis.

That is the exact age where manic episodes start to intensify from minor mood changes to full-blown fiascos. Now, bipolar is pretty misunderstood as was stated, but it doesn't generally manifest before being well into adulthood. In fact, bipolar cases are often misdiagnosed earlier in life because they are depressed without being manic, or vice versa. Take my uncle, for example, he was happily married with three kids until right around 30 took his stuff and tried to run off with another woman who didn't want anything to do with him. For an entire summer he created a living hell for his family and everyone around him until he was finally commited and diagnosed with bipolar. He takes his meds now, but every once in awhile something will still set him off (like crushing pressure or stress) into another manic episode. Rampage is in his late twenties, right?

Its physical, not psychological. I don't know what illness Quinton might be effected by, but it sure sounds like a bi-polar episode which is something I am familar with. Popular opinion on mental illness in America tends towards asking those afflicted with such illnesses to "try harder" have more "mentally discipline" and such when in fact chemical balances in our brian chemistry are more responsible for odd behaviors such as Quinton has been demonstrating rather than a lack of discipline.

In his case he fly cross country and was acting odd enough on the plane that when it landed the police asked if he would volunteer to go with them for an evaluation. Its standard opperating procedures for an individual to be deemed, "a risk to themself and/or to others" so that medical care can be expediated. Bi-polar and other common mental conditions are just that, conditions. They can be treated quite efficiently with modern medications. Another family member was diagnosed with type II diabeties around the same time and the two comment that managing their respective conditions are really quite similar. I'm happy to hear Quniton was willing to seek medical attention on the advice of friends and the authorities.

It usually manifests earlier in life, and most people who suffer from it go off their meds at least occasionally and chaos ensues. If there isn't a past history, there are other potential explanations including substances. Either way I hope his friends like Juanito rally to him.
