xOchErrytWistOx answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 11:05 am: Bipolar is a disease. Its where a person has rele bad mood swings. Like rele bad, one minute they are happy and then literally, the next second they are very angry. also, they become so depressed at times that they feel they can never be happy again. people have to take special medication for it to stop the swings. I learned about bipolar from MTV, they had a True Life about it. I'll bet they still show it on MTV2 or tell about it on mtv.com. hope i helped!

Karen answered Monday August 23 2004, 9:07 pm: Bipolar is a disease of the mind that makes you change your mood swings from one to the other. Bipolar is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. It is easily treatable but some people don't even know that they have it. Hope I helped :) [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
MFS answered Monday August 23 2004, 9:03 pm: Bipolar is a disease of the mind that can manifest in many ways. They used to call it manic/depressant, but that was too narrow in scope. It essentially means sporadically changing mood swings from one extreme to another. It is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and is easily treatable. Some people have very mild cases of it and do not need medicated, while others who are more extreme very much need medicated. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
