Answer 2

Do you know what 'bipolar' means? It used to be called manic-depressive. These people live at the whim of their brain chemicals or the seasons. They do not have, by virtue of being bipolar, a social disorder. Bipolar people tend to be on the whole, more intelligent and creative than the usual guy. Hemingway, Van Gogh, many painters, actors, and so on are or were bipolar. They usually have a short life span (suicide) because of the pain the depression can bring and the out of control life the manic side provides.
The medications given to treat the disorder have side effects that are almost, almost as bad as the symptoms of the the disorder.
Be gentle, good soul.

Answer 3

its genetics its no ones fault... what does your next statement about trusting a winner have anything to do with bipolars. its not a social disorder. Bipolar disorder is a serious medical illness that can affect a person's ability to feel a normal range of moods. People with bipolar disorder have mood swings that can range from very low (depression) to very high (mania).Bipolar disorder is also known as manic depression. The word "bipolar" is now used because the disorder is made up of two poles, or extremes.

Scientists don’t really know what causes bipolar disorder. They do believe that genetics plays a role. For instance, more than two thirds of people with bipolar disorder also have a relative with the same condition or some other mood disorder. But genetics alone does not cause someone to develop bipolar disorder. We don’t yet know what those other things are.

This is what we do know about bipolar disorder:

Bipolar disorder most commonly starts in teenagers and young adults. But it can also first occur in children and older adults. Bipolar disorder equally affects people of all races and ethnic groups. Special chemicals in the brain, called neurotransmitters, may be involved in the disease. If the levels of these chemicals are out of balance, it may be harder for brain cells to work normally.

Myth: There is no known cure for bipolar disorder.
Fact: The disorder can't be cured, but there are effective ways to help control it. These include medicine, counseling (psychotherapy), or both.

Myth: Bipolar disorder can be difficult to diagnose.
Fact: Bipolar disorder may be mistaken for other conditions. There are many reasons that make diagnosing bipolar disorder difficult, such as how patients describe symptoms and what types of symptoms they experience first.

Myth: People who have bipolar disorder spend their lives in psychiatric hospitals.
Fact: Many people with bipolar disorder are treated outside of a hospital. Sometimes people go to a hospital if they have a severe manic or depressive episode. With appropriate treatment, many people with bipolar disorder can live normal lives.

Myth: People with bipolar disorder can seldom hold down a job.
Fact: In some cases, bipolar disorder can affect job performance. But with proper treatment, people with bipolar disorder can be effective workers and live normal lives.

Myth: Once a person's bipolar disorder is under control, they can stop their medication.
Fact: Treatment of bipolar disorder is usually lifelong. Unless a healthcare provider says otherwise, a person with bipolar disorder shouldn't stop medication once the condition is under control. They need to continue the medication to keep the condition controlled.

Myth: Bipolar episodes are always triggered by some event.
Fact: Episodes of bipolar disorder are often triggered by a stressful or traumatic event, but not always. Sometimes episodes occur without any obvious triggers.

Some common beliefs about bipolar disorder aren't necessarily true. Knowing the difference between fact and myth is the first step to understanding and dealing with bipolar disorder.

Answer 4

I am bipolar 2 with anxiety disorder and yes taking meds do help...and yes I find myself talking garrulously and it does annoy people. I didn't used to hold jobs down for very long, but, I started working at the Mental Health place where I live and that is where I learned about mental disorders. This job I do is working with people with mental disorders on third shift. It helps to understand what they go through. I have been at this job for 3 years and 7 months. It has not been easy...it is hard to get along with your co-workers at times...espec. when you feel irritated or mood swings. But, over all a bipolar person can they just have to stay on their meds and seek therapy as needed. It helps to find a job that understands, but, by law you do not not have to tell them your mental illness..so, the choice is up to the indiv. I told my boss because I did go to the hospital onetime. Good luck!

Answer 5

Having bipolar disorder is like having diabetes.

If a diabetic eats the wrong foods or fails to take insulin, they will go into diabetic coma and possibly die in a short amount of time.

If someone with bipolar disorder stops taking medication, the brain begins to unwind and either the mania or depression start to kindle to the point that the person takes his/her own life, spends lots of money, breaks the law, has sex with the wrong people, makes the wrong decisions, has completely no idea what he's doing or how he's impacting people, et al.

Answer 6

It is not really a social disorder, it is an inherited disorder...You would be surprized at how many Stars and people in politics had this disorder and went on with their lives....And hey, I'd go to the Great Lakes anyday for therapy or not!

Answer 7

Bipolar is a mental illness and certainly is not the fault of the person who has it. The person who is bipolar is however responsible for seeking and taking treatment for it. Without treatment this illness can cause all kinds of social trouble for the bipolar person.

Answer 8

Yes, they are good people. But, social disorder is a separate disorder. Don't worry, they are good people too.
Not their fault completely, but they can control it better than they do, in most cases.
You can trust a winner because you are in no place to judge them as a winner or not.

Answer 9

My sister is bipolar. She is cool, though sometimes she gets too angry or sad. Overall she acts like a normal person with anger issues.
So what was your question anyways?
You also trust a winner becuase you blackmail him with a picture of him injecting steroids into himself before the big day. That will get him to come straight, to you at least.

Answer 10

bipolar people do have problems. theirs is just out in the open right now.

i know people who are bipolar and live healthy lives.
and i know a couple that use their bipolar for excuses to do things that are not acceptable.

i think that with medication, there should not be any excuses for being a brat, or using other drugs, or any of that.

its like a drunk saying that he didnt know what he was doing because he was drunk. i dont buy that either

Answer 11

Bipolar people rock! ( i am one of them ) medication and therepy and a great support system will help most lead a very normal life. Social Disorder? hmmm don't have that problem.
