Question: Did the Nazis kill people with bipolar disorder!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think he means did the nazis aim to specifically kill bipolar people, as they aimed for most people with mental handicaps and disabilities!.
As for the actual answer i would probably say no, Bipolar is usually not outwardly noticeable without close inspection, and most people controlled by the nazis were stressed prisoners likely to be acting strangely regardless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure bipolar disorder was well diagnosed in the 30's and 40's!. It is a manageable and certainly not a threatening disorder, so even if diagnosed easily back then it probably wasn't a death sentence!. It had to be a pretty severe problem to warrant going to the camps!. Sterilisation was another option that was widely used to "clean up the gene pool"!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I am sure at least one of the Jews had bipolar disorder!.

They would not have searched for this!. The one answered said they probably didn't diagnose bipolar back then and I would agree with that!. Even if you had it the worst they would do is sterilize you although I don't think they would care if you had bipolar disorder!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

What!? They killed anyone that got into their way and there were no tests done on those for mental disabilities that decided their termination process, they did murder those who were down syndrome and retarded, and handicapped, old and senile, anyone that they felt was not perfect!? They were trying to build a perfect world according to what Hitler saw in his sick mind! He should have been the first in the oven for he was definately handicapped! ha ha Www@QuestionHome@Com
