It can be controlled if she takes the medicine. It can be with her whole life and theres a possibilty that it doesnt have to be.
People that are bi-polar change moods very quickly such as one minute you can be extremely happy, excited and the next minute you pissed off and bit*hy to everyone..
so just tell your parents to check with her doctor and pretty much go on from there
