Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia have some symptoms that are quite similar. The main difference between these two is that schizophrenia's characterized by hallucinations and delusions while bipolar disorder is mainly manic behavior followed by periods of depression.

In short, bipolar symptoms can be somewhat similar to schizophrenic symptoms, but unless the individual has schizo-affective disorder the symptoms won't be identical enough to confuse the two disorders with one another.

The disorder can go into remission without drugs and the person can become normal. Often, though, medication is required. Sometimes the medication makes the person become almost normal. In other cases, it doesn't do any good. A person with bipolar disorder, though their medications may have helped them tremendously and though they may not be manic or depressed, will always be a person with bipolar disorder. They may be able to do everything a "normal" person can do or they may find their lives limited by their condition. Bipolar disorder can look different in different individuals also.

How can you tell if you have bipolar disorder instead of teenage hormones?
Bipolar mood disorder has such a wide and varied spectrum of symptoms, that it is difficult to pin down sometimes. It is always advisable to go to the doctor and discuss the possibilities, so that the doctor can refer this to a consultant psychiatrist if necessary. Bipolar disorder is life long, whereas teenage hormones will pass. It is a good idea to make a note of the symptoms someone is suffering, before they go to the doctor, as this will help the medic make a decision on diagnosis. Also note that Bipolar Disorder is an adult onset disease, and though in a relatively small number of cases it can have an onset in the mid to late teens, it is by no means a problem common to adolescents.
