Answer 1

Once properly treated a person with bipolar disorder can do pretty much everything anyone else can. There's no reason why he shouldn't have a social life or marry. Make sure your spouse knows the signs of a relapse, but it's not something that should totally interfere with life once it's treated.

Answer 2

Bipolar Disorder is an illness where a person has mood disturbances. The person can be either manic, depressed, or mixed. Mania is when the person feels euphoric and might even develop a psychosis. Depression is when a person feels sad. A mixed state is a combination of both. Bipolar Disorder is often treated with an anticonvulsant, a antidepressant and an antipsychotic medication.

As for marriage, it depends on how stable a person is. Can they keep a job? Is their spending under control? Are they sleepung well?

I hope I answered this. It is a difficult topic. Good luck and g-d bless !!

Formerly called “Manic-Depressive Illness,” a mood disorder characterized by severe alterations in mood which are usually episodic and recurrent. At least one mood episode must be of the “manic” type, in which a person experiences either extreme elevation in mood (euphoria) and energy level, or extreme agitation and irritability. In addition, episodes of depressed mood are usually present.
