There has been much speculation about whether or not the controversial actor suffers from bipolar disorder, but Charlie Sheen received a formal diagnosis in 2016. Right now, Sheen has not made many headlines after his diagnosis with HIV, but he has spoken openly about his manic episodes in interviews on the Dr. Oz Show and on webcasts, which have given insight for patients on how he is coping with his condition. Many may know him for his roles in Two and a Half Men, Anger Management, and even for his smaller role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Some outlets like TMZ have speculated that his disorder may have been brought on by his drug use. But this has not been confirmed.
