What causes bad temper while having depression?
Patient: Dr.my elder brother (age 33) is in depression near about ten year or more he do not visit doctor and take medicines. He is always in high temper and do not go any where from home. We are nothing know  to what to do please suggest us to do something for him. Doctor: Hello,Depression becomes sometimes agitated so that can be one reason your brother gets angry. Or your brother has bipolar disorder where depression and agitation come and goes. So I suggest you take your brother to a psychiatrist and start him on antidepressant or mood stabilizer after confirming diagnosis. If he refuses to take medicines, better get him admitted for few days till he recovers and start taking tablets on his own.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Prashant Gohil
