Yes.
One in four of us suffer from mental illness at some time in our lives. Most of us get better. Speaking as a happily married father of two with a great family, great life and great future - I don't mind telling you that when I first met my wife, I was suffering a bout of something nasty, but she was and is the best thing that could have happened to me. She's no do-gooder hippy either, an ex-model with post-graduate dgerees - beautiful, caring and very clever. She befriended me and I made it through, now we're married.
I still want to change the world and I get frustrated that I can't every so often, but I'm in control - I'm fine.
You might have the same effect on someone.

If oyu do make sure it is not at a confident state as you know manic depressive people have highs and lows. When high they wanna change the wordl and when they realise changing the wold on their own is too hard then they sink in this major down that can make it hard for them to function properly. And at that moment they need someone to hold on to, a simple friendship can become quite a burden at this time and if you are not there when they need you then you are contributing to making them more down. Bassically if you think you can deal with the rain you will love the high times...

yes, of course - as far as you're honest and concerned in the friendship. Being bi-polar doesn't mean being from outer space, it's a disorder that can be treated, the depression as well as the mania.
Make sure your friend gets proper treatment, show him support and understanding, understand when he doesn't feel well. That's basically all you can do to help. But having a friend is always worth. Make him sure he has one.

That depends on how far the friendship goes. And I daresay that I don't think there can be a friendship without SOME degree of personal attachment.

I think it is not safe, why would you want to be friends with someone who is completely mental even if you feel bad most liklely they will involve you in their every day life, which is out of control and chaotic, try to befriend someone who can be a potential partner

sure, I'm friends with bi-polar people. They are good and fun to be around during their good times. But you must be a strong person and except the during their bad times. Good luck to your friendship if you decide to venture!
