Yes.
If a person has the gene for bipolar (i do but it's a mild version) - then taking an SSRI for too long
(varies according to the person) - results in somewhat pre-manic behaviours:
loss of fear and caution, leading to behaviours like
not wearing a seat belt and crossing the median line on blind corners,
with no brindle or halter, getting on the bare back of a two-year-old unstarted filly... getting bucked off and damaging the eye on sharp gravel
spending too much money,
feeling euphoric and enthusiastic,
getting loads of creative ideas,
becoming impulsive.
