====== Emotional Dysregulation ======

[[Emotion]]al [[dysregulation]] following a [[concussion]] is well established. New onset of major [[psychiatric disease]]s such as [[bipolar disorder]] (BPD) post-concussion has not been investigated. BPD typically presents with an initial depressive episode followed by [[mania]] and concurrent depressive and manic states. Multiple theories explaining the etiology of BPD exist, including the diathesis-stress model (DiSM), though an accepted theory is not established. In this case study, medical records of a 50-year-old ambidextrous male with co-morbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) inattentive type, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and a family history of BPD suffered a motor vehicle [[collision]] (MVC) resulting in a grade II concussion. New onset BPD was diagnosed one-year after a concussion following an involuntary admission and led to the patient self-terminating his medications and suffering a hypertensive crisis and aortic dissection, and stroke. One year later, the patient was again involuntarily admitted for a [[suicide attempt]]. Bipolar disorder persisted unchanged indefinitely. This case study may serve as a real-world example of the DiSM in the etiology of BPD post-concussion
