Do you think my husband has anger issues or bi-polar?
I'm so confused. My husband is the most wonderful person in the world and would do anything for me when things in our relationship are good. But when he gets upset it's like he can't handle it. He completly looses his cool. He yells, and tells me the lost horrible things to get to me. But when we are not arguing he's a completly different person. He can go from being nice and happy to being angry. He acts violent to other people when he gets mad. He has gotten into a fight with his brother numerous time over stupid things. He gets angry over very stupid things. He'll throw a tantrum, scream, cuss, punch holes in the wall and knock things down. He goes from being the nicest person ever to very mean and angry. He tried to fight a security guard at a scool event (he's a teacher/coach) because he went through a metal detector and he forgot he had a knife in his back pocket and the security guard wouldn't let him into the track meet. He always has a pocket knife in his back pocket. He got suspended from his job because of it. When he gets angry he has this scary loosk in his eyes, it's like he loses control and becomes a different person, he just acts crazy, but only when he gets mad. Other people have called him crazy and bi-polar. One minute he's happy then he'll turn around and start shouting at whatever ot whoever he's mad at, screaming & cussing. Do you think he should see a Dr? Is there something wrong with him. Do you think he has a mental disorder or something else?

He definitely has some sort of anger disorder. Whether he is actually bipolar or not, I'm not qualified to say, nor do I have enough information.
People with severe anger issues can go into almost a trance when they get angry. It's not easy for them to calm down, and they do things they wouldn't normally do. Afterwards they may even feel embarrassed or depressed about the way they acted.
You should treat it like a medical condition and see a psychiatrist. Be a little cautious though and get multiple opinions. I find that many psychiatrists are quick to prescribe a drug regardless of whether it is really the best solution. This can leave him feeling dopy without really correcting his problem.
It may be caused by an earlier event or series of events that he isn't even aware of. A therapist may help him uncover why he has so much trouble with anger, and help him confront those issues. If it's not a medical condition like bipolar disorder, then I like the non drug approach better.
Regardless, you need to get help. What happens when he hurts someone and ends up in prison? or what if he gets in a fight with someone with a knife or gun and ends up handicapped or dead? This has the potential to get very bad for both of you, so I would highly recommend looking for some professional help.
Good luck and take care.

I'd like to correct the person below me. Bipolar people can be very violent and dangerous while manic. I am bipolar, and I know a lot about the illness.
Those people aren't doctors, so they can't decide that your husband is bipolar. There is definitely something very wrong with him, and both you guys are suffering terribly. You shouldn't be. If he has bipolar and it is not treated it will only get worse. Do yourself and your husband the biggest favor, and take him to see a psychiatrist. He needs help, whether he has anger issues or bipolar.
Good luck :)

Those people who think he is bipolar wouldnt know a person with it from an arrdvark. People with the disease have delusions, bad decisions, grandiose ideas and feeling of ombipotence but aren't violent and in fact avoid all confrontation and talk a mile a minute without pause with racing thoughts.
Your husband could be violent to begin with but it's not bipolar and wouldn't behave this way because of it if he wasn't out of control to begin with. He could have another mental health issue and needs evaluated by a psychiatrist at any rate. Good luck getting him to one as he no doubt can't see the problem for the facts.
I think he's definitely I'll especially if he looks soulless or crazed but the problem is not bipolar but something more severe. If he was fired and always has knives around I would get him to an ER to see a psychiatrist on call as he can harm himself or others. Either that or walk out with any kids and don't turn back until he has. He's volatile and cannot predict what's next with him.
