My daughter who is now 28 has bipolar.  She was diagnosed in her late teens and was in denial for quite along time.\nShe fought it, tried self medicating, refused to take any pills.  She was a mess.  This is an illness that will stay with you as they have yet to find a cure.  The good news that with the right combination of medications a good support system you can learn to cope and indeed have a good life.  Bi-polar has nothing to do with you not being you- it is a chemistry disorder and that is not your fault.

I see all the answers given and there isn't one good one. People with bipolar are not all psychos, they are people living day to day the best they can. They have jobs families and lives like everyone else. There are a few that may cause problems because they refuse to take their meds but I don't see them everyday ruining the lives around them anymore than I see normal people walking down the street.\n\nWhat happened to compassion for your fellow man. People don't ask to be bipolar. Have you ever heard someone bitch about a cancer patient going through treatment? No. Bipolar is a disease like any other and the people that have it deserve the kindness that anyone else does. \n\nSo to answer your question. People are ass****!

Yeah you should check with your doctor.  Bipolar is a very severe illness and you shouldn't ingest anything without knowing what affect it will have on your mood

Well, it's not quite a disease, but it is a disorder. Bipolar disorder is usually diagnosed (if it's caught in time) in adolescence, but how people get it is not fully understood. I found this blurb of information from WebMd http://www.webmd.com/hw/bipolar_disorder/ty1019.asp\nabout what researchers think causes Bipolar Disorder.\n"The cause of bipolar disorder is not completely understood, but the disorder runs in families and may also be affected by your living environment or family situation. An imbalance of chemicals in the brain is another possible cause."

well, its not very common though; i would say abt 32% of Usa women have it and what causes it is their upbringing.\nso they are not to be blamed..good.

I have been bipolar for 10 years now. There's alot of info on bipolar,but I will tell you what I know. Bipolar is an embalance in the brain. One minute your happy and nothing can get you down. It's like your high. Then the next minute your so depressed that your crying all the time thinking your worthless and nothing is going to get better and your better off dead. There are alot of good meds out there today for people with this problem, and they help. If you stay on them. Hope this helps.

I myself am bipolar. I have been in a relationship for 8 years now. My fiance has had to learn the hard way how to deal with my mood swings. He says u have to be very understanding,supportive,and willing to help in time of need. I have abused him in more ways than 1 since we been together,but he justs takes it the best way he can. There are groups that help people with bipolar and for those who love someone with bipolar. Learning all you can about bipolar will help out alot also.

Bipolars usually don't think there is anything wrong with them...they think it is everything else. They will not get help until they see it themselves and choose too. Just be supportive and loving.

Even when genetic, there is no sure proof that you or your siblings will get it as well, there is a certain level of self awareness that bipolar victims don't have, as long as you remain emotionally balanced and maintain high self confidence, I don't see how much of a possibility it would be for you to get it as well.
