I dislike how the media portrays people with bipolar disorder, like the character Jennie here. In reality, people with bipolar disorder don’t instantly switch between depression and mania—it happens in stages.
If you suspect someone may have bipolar disorder, the main red flags to watch for are changes in their sleep patterns—for example, staying awake until 5 a.m. or still awake at 1 p.m. for several days in a row. Other signs include intense and prolonged anger, unlike a normal mood swing that passes quickly and forgetfulness like not remembering where you put things or being unable to focus even when you try hard; overthinking and constant rumination leading to depression; and a restless feeling that’s hard to explain.
During the depressive stage, a person may experience hallucinations, either auditory or visual. Later, in the manic stage, they may have an overwhelming urge to do something completely unlike your normal self—like suddenly wanting to play basketball even though you rarely play and only did it once as a child and believe that anything is possible. This stage can also involve hallucinations, such as seeing everyone is beautiful or imagining seeing friends who are actually in different cities.
People in this phase often eat and sleep less because of delusions or strange beliefs, like thinking the food is from supernatural beings (pagkain ng engkanto). In the manic stage, you might not recognize yourself or the people around you because of temporary amnesia, memory distortions. This state can last for months without medication, and you may behave in a childlike manner. But what I described fits the experience of Bipolar I.
Bottom line: you don’t suddenly lose your mind. If you don’t notice the red flags, your mental health will slowly get worse. People who are most at risk are those who grew up without good coping skills, practical life skills, or guidance on how to handle emotions. I like this Manhwa thou since the ml truly has the disorder and don't just do reckless sh*t for no reason because there situation is bad so their attitude become sh*tty
I think it's pretty clear that Jennie has bipolar 2, not bipolar 1, there is a big difference in how someone with bipolar 1 vs 2 will act and the symptoms are very different. Her episodes aren't manic episodes, but she definitely is experiencing hypomania which comes with bipolar 2. On one occasion you can see her getting overly excited over the letters then getting stressed when Peters opinion is different from hers, a clear sign of hypomania, going from excited to irritable is quite common in bipolar 2. And you can tell the stress from her home life is triggering her episodes which is making the hypomania worse, going from feeling just a little stressed to being so stressed she feels the need to self harm is more likely to be hypomania and not mania. Also I feel like Lee Wooyeons ASPD was pretty accurate, especially if the creator doesn't have ASPD. This is just my opinion as someone with both bipolar disorder and ASPD, please don't take this as me being rude as I really don't mean it to be, I just enjoy how mental illness was displayed in this manhwa and love to talk about how it can be shown
Thank you for pointing out that she might have Bipolar II, since I’ve learned that there are different types of bipolar disorder. You’re right—Jennie’s stressful environment could have contributed to the development of her condition. As for ASPD, I’m not sure if it’s more like sociopathy, which is learned behavior, or psychopathy, which is inborn. But to me, Wooyeon feels like a real person—especially when he says that he and Inseob don’t feel the same way, yet he’s fine with his partner being the one who feels happiness.
I hope there are side stories:,-)
At first I really thought bipolar II is like bipolar I minus auditory or visual hallucinations since they don't get psychosis
Ofc!! There's also bipolar lll, also known as cyclothymic disorder which has a bit milder fluctuations between depressive episodes and hypomania. Some bipolar 2 people can have hallucinations without experiencing psychosis, but having hallucinations typically is bipolar 1. If you want to learn more about ASPD here is a good link that explains ASPD in depth without the stigma that people usually have against it. https://www.reddit.com/r/aspd/s/Un5KrSIfpW I also really hope they have side stories, that would be great!
