In the movie garden state can someone discuss andrew's psychological disorder(bi-polar)and how true it was
He didn't have bi-polar disease or any other in-fact. Remember the neurologist told him he was well and probably always was... his dad just had to find something to blame for his wife's accident caused by Andrew. He was just a little neurotic from all the stuff he's been through. If you're really looking for some insight check out some real video footage from taped sessions with patients and read some books written by psychiatrist who study the disorder.
Reply:I'm pretty sure he's just depressed.
Reply:The movie wasn't really depicting him with symptoms of a bipolar person, it was showing him as a man who was so numbed with medication that he wasn't really anything.


But in general, bipolar people will go through periods of depression and then mania. Mania being a point where they're super excited and happy. They think that they can do anything and etc. It's like a mood swing x 1000000.
