[ ] Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
I wish I could help you on that one if u get the answer let me know...becuase that is my question to.. ]
basically if you're like totally happy one second ... and then ... *snap* you're like the incredible hulk, and you beat the crap out of innocent people. my cousin's like that... it's scary. ex: she pushed her mom down the stairs but was totally sweet before she did. ]
when a person is bi-polar, they are usually in a depressed state --which is puncuated by periods of almost feeling "high"--happy-hyper--or manic-
theres also a couple different types of bi polar
its basically a chemical imbalance..which can be worsened by emotional trauma.
bi polar people think differntly and definitely behave differently
it can be controlled by medication --to a point. but sometimes it takes a long time to find the right combination of drugs that would work in any single case.
plus a bipolar person has to want to get better--some people are so far gone...or wont admit they have a problem.
you need to talk to someone about this. don't wait. its a very confusing condition but there is sooo much support for you out there.
if you dont see a doctor...at least research it online...go to chatrooms and listen to what people are talking about and see if you can relate. you might be able to get some real good advice( after you sift thru the b.s.)
good luck and take care

Bipolar is a serious thing. Its when your mood change is frm really hyper and spastic to depressed and sadness in a matter of seconds. You would know if you had this. If you have ne questions about it ask your nearest physciatrist or counselor. ]
if your a highly emotional person who gets upset over IRRATIONAL things, yourr bipolar. ]
well do you change aditude easily like one minute your happy then the next your mad i think you should just go to a doctor and get checked out by him and if you dont feel comfortable doing that go to a conslers office at scool or a theripist if you dont wanna try any o those go to goggle or ask jeeves and look for a medical site ]
if your always changing moods drastically

If you have random outbursts of anger, but then you can be well again in a matter of minutes, usually it means you're bipolar. To try to avoid being that way, try focusing on something else, such as music, friends, etc. Try not to let small things get to you, you only hurt yourself that way. ]

You should go to a phsycoligist and they will ask you questions and they can figure out if you do. If you do then they will give you pills for it. I have bipolar and thats how I figured out how I had it. ]
