Answer 1

Here:
The symptoms of bipolar disorder can vary from one person to another. People with bipolar disorder should talk with their healthcare providers about their symptoms at each visit. Symptoms of depression and mania (formerly referred to as "manic depression symptoms") include the following.

Depression:
Feeling sad or blue, or “down in the dumps”
Loss of interest in things the person used to enjoy, including sex
Feeling worthless, hopeless, or guilty
Sleeping too little or too much
Changes in weight or appetite
Feeling tired or having little or no energy
Feeling restless
Problems concentrating or making decisions Feeling restless
Problems concentrating or making decisions
Thoughts of death or suicide
Thoughts of death or suicide

How to recognise patients with bipolar disorder? These patients experience dramatic mood swings, ranging from being extremely 'high', to feeling very depressed, sad and hopeless. They then move back again to the 'high' state, often with some periods of normal mood in between. Besides these mood changes, there are also severe changes in energy and behaviour.
I have slight depression and anxiety and if you think you or someone else has a condition you should talk to them about going to a psychologist!
Going to a psychogist was the best for me because I am like I was before I saw my doctor. Anyway if it's you than go to a psycholgist and talk to him or her about it. Than if he thinks you are he'll have you go to Psykitrist and than he or she may have you take some medicines to help you or whoever it is who you think might be bipolar.
Good luck!

Answer 2

People with Bi-Polar disorder (there are several types) usually experience cycling between times of serious depression and times of serious mania (times of high energy in which one is usually very, very, very energetic and may not require much sleep, may be wildly optimistic, may struggle with self-control). Most teens think they are Bi-Polar because most teens experience sharp mood swings - but for most teens, these mood swings don't occur over persistent patterns or time periods. The best way to check is go see your doctor and talk about your symptoms - then if you're not sure, make an appointment with a therapist - an LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT - we won't give you drugs - we'll help you cope - and if you need meds we'll refer you to a psychiatrist if that's what you want.

Answer 3

well, everyday we all have ups and downs (or highs and lows.) we get a bad grade, disagree with someone, or on the high end, we get a good grade or ask someone on a date and they say yes. we are happy and sad on and off. but in bipolar disorder, the highs are MUCH higher, and the lows are MUCH lower. sometimes they can last for long periods of time, unlike our normal emotions. it usually inhibits relationships or social interaction.
