Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder differs significantly from clinical depression, although the symptoms for the depressive phase of the illness are similar. Most people who have bipolar disorder talk about experiencing "highs" and "lows" – the highs are periods of mania, the lows periods of depression. These swings can be severe, ranging from extreme energy to deep despair. The severity of the mood swings and the way they disrupt normal life activities distinguish bipolar mood episodes from ordinary mood changes.
Symptoms of mania - the "highs" of bipolar disorder
Increased physical and mental activity and energy
Heightened mood, exaggerated optimism and self-confidence
Excessive irritability, aggressive behavior
Decreased need for sleep without experiencing fatigue
Grandiose delusions, inflated sense of self-importance
Racing speech, racing thoughts, flight of ideas
Impulsiveness, poor judgment, distractibility
Reckless behavior
In the most severe cases, delusions and hallucinations
Symptoms of depression - the "lows" of bipolar disorder
Prolonged sadness or unexplained crying spells
Significant changes in appetite and sleep patterns
Irritability, anger, worry, agitation, anxiety
Pessimism, indifference
Loss of energy, persistent lethargy
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness

bipolar disorder is a mental disorder characterised by fluctuations in a person affect from mania (extremely happy) to depressed (extremely sad). Mania is just as dangerous as depression as manic people believe that they can do anything.
If you see these characteristics in a person then they may suffer from bipolar but would have to be diagnosed by a professional

Bipolar Disorder is a form of manic depression. It affects your mood. You can either be high (manic), normal, or depressed. Either end of the scale can be disastrous depending on the individual. You can find out more at NHS direct online. A friend of mine suffers from it.
I know lots of people with this disorder - mostly relatives. My mom, two of her sisters (maybe more), my sister, a former boyfriend, and yes it does run in families.
It is not uncommon for these people to also be addicts to alcohol or drugs. Prozac worked well for my mom but she refused to keep taking it cause it "made her fat".
A psychiatric condition in which someone experiences two poles, hence the name bipolar - mania and depression. My brother has it, in addition to other mental illnesses, and it becomes very difficult to manage with his mood swings at times.
