It was his charisma.

I've heard nothing about having depressive periods, so I'd say no.
Alcoholic.. maybe.

[b]Interesting point. I wonder... And about the alcoholic thing, yeah. It amazes me how he kept his voice up for so long, especially during the latter stages of his career (and the BREATHTAKING Barcelona album!). I wonder if he EVER got hangovers?! Ha![/b]

The subject of this thread makes me think of a headline the Sun might use.
To my knowledge, Freddie was never diagnosed with bipolar.

Which doesn't necessarily rule it out. Though, of course, him having some well-documented extreme periods doesn't guarantee he was bipolar either. IMO there's not enough data to be certain whether he was or wasn't. Only he would know, and those who were really close to him.

I don't think he had bipolar disease, but I do think he had a manic personality! There weren't enough depressive phases.
That sort of personality seems to go hand-in-hand with great talent and creativity....and rock stars! He seemed to have too much mental energy for one mind and it spilled over. I would love to know what used to happen when he threw a tantrum! With a voice like his, most of Kensington must have heard him (If he was at home).

I don't think that Freddie was bipolar, since I am not aware that he was ever really seriously depressed. His manic-type states were probably more likely the result of cocaine use. I also am not aware that Freddie was an alcoholic either, although he liked to drink and smoked cigarettes. He actually seemed quite psychologically stable. He was very promiscuous, but I am not sure that this is a sign of any kind of psychological issues.

No, it was cocaine combined with alcohol.

This might be duplicated cos I was half way thru a reply and pressed the wrong key by mistake.
I don't drink alcohol and I've never touched cocaine, and I'm fairly quiet and reserved, HOWEVER, in the
interests of scientific research, I am prepared to drink to excess and snort cocaine regularly, to test the
theory that Freddie's manic personality was caused by drink and drugs. I will report back in one year.
This could be very interesting..............
