Best Answer

I think if someone has their bipolar condition managed then yes; however, they should have a back-up plan for the children in case they do feel themselves go out of control, or need to get away for a day or two to not reach the breaking point. Do I think a bipolar parent who has managed symptoms can be a good parent? Absolutely. Do I think it will be harder for them? Yes I do, but then again, the things most valuable to you in life aren't the easy things.

There should be no problem at all, I would only be concerned if the bipolar person took no medication.However, totally independent of bipolar or no bipolar there are of course people that are not safe with children. But the statistical chance of this is no different between those with mental illnesses and those without.
