No, bipolar disorder is not a myth. It is a chemical embalance in the brain. It is also known as manic depressive disorder. Though there are many treatements for this disorder, there is no cure. It is a mental illness that causes dramatic mood swings, most people with bipolar disorder fluctuate between high manic states to low depressive states.

No, it's not a myth. My psychology book says bipolar disorder is "repeated episodes of mania (unreasonable elation & hyperactivity) and depression." I do believe it is considered a mood disorder. Antidepressants can help one who has this disorder.

Some people think so, but those who know better or who have it don't think so. Having met a few, I'm inclined to think it's quite real.
