It is not a split personality, split personality is when someone blacks out and thinks that they are someone else, usually a person who they favor or are jealous of.
Bi- Polar is usually catagorized as a depression symptom. A person can be extremely happy one minute and totally sad the next or loving and affectionate then a total ruthless human being, it can be a number of things that triggers the on and off.

Bi polar is when a person does have a split personality in a way. For a while they could be totally normal but then if you upset them they could go on fits of rage so they act 2 totally opposite ways.

Extremely happy on minute and then wham, extremely depressed. There are levels, BiPolar 1, 2, and 3. Some people do act as though they have multiple personalities, it is because they can't control their moods.

bi polar has many symtoms, but in the later stages, it's when people have huge sudden mood changes.
for example:
my teacher would always be like 'hi class, how are you?... (30 seconds later) everybody sit down and be quiet! now!'
... and that's actually true...

Bipolar = manic-depressive.
These folks run from up and happy to doom and gloom. It's one thing to be sympathetic or empathetic. They deserve either. But to get into a relationship with one? ... better to run for the hills.
