how does someone who is bipolar act and feel? how does it make them any different, and why is it considered a bad thing? its not like having multiple personalities is it?
Bipolar is typically where someone experiences severe mood swings, ie extremely happy and laughing one minute and the next minute they're sad or depressed. No it's not multiple personalities, that would be schizophrenia.
with the right medication, which can take time to find, a person with bi-polar disorder can be just fine, my boyfriend/husband is bi-polar and is happy and healthy.
