Is Charlie Sheen bipolar or not? In recent interviews with NBC and ABC, he is showing signs of grandiosity, a classic symptom of bipolar disorder. In reference to how he got sober; "I closed my eyes and made it so with the power of my mind," he told NBC.

As far as AA goes; AA, according to Sheen, "was written for normal people, people that aren't special. People that don't have tiger blood, you know, Adonis DNA." Which he, presumably, has. How does he feel about people who relapse? "Fools. Trolls. Weak. Defeated. They allowed defeat to be an option."

This feeling of grandiosity along with the sexual prowess, alcohol and drug abuse, pressured speech, anger and irritability are all symptoms of bipolar.

I also had (and sometimes still do!) a shopping addiction. Extravagant spending is not uncommon among bipolars. We will probably not know whether Sheen has one or not due to his extreme wealth. As of right now, he appears he does not have to worry about bankruptcy.

The one special aspect of bipolar disorder is that what goes up must come down. So if Mr. Sheen is bipolar or this mania is due to alcohol and drug abuse, we will know in due time.
