dc.description.abstractThis paper established connections between mental illness (bipolar disorder) to crime commission. Bipolar disorder is a medical condition which needs to be addressed, even at that it has been neglected in the past. Instead of finding a long-term cure for bipolar disorder patients, most patients were restricted to temporary treatment like administering sedatives to calm them during the period of attack. Government, medical practitioners should come up with new ideas of treating bipolar disorder patients as previous treatment has been yet to achieve desired results. The paper begins with an overview of mental illness, a conceptual explanation of crime and bipolar disorder (BD) delves further into the relationship between bipolar disorder to the crime commission, and the consequences of bipolar disorder (BD). This paper concludes that bipolar disorder as a mental illness is believed to be a major motivation for criminality. Mentally derailed individuals were disposed to violence and crime. This shows a connection between crime and mental illness with specific reference to bipolar disorder. The paper recommends that government at all levels should ensure better treatment for bipolar disorder patients by providing drugs which will have a long-term cure for bipolar disorder patients.
