So far I've only heard that magnets are bipolar, meaning that they have 2 poles, not to be confused with Bipolar disorder.

Yes. If left untreated, bipolar 2 can easily turn into bipolar 1 or possibly even rapid cycling bipolar disorder. (Second User) Yes, even with treatment (although it is much less likely in such a case) bipolar two disorder can become bipolar one disorder. This would happen when the hypomanic episodes of Bipolar 2 become more severe and harmful manic episodes. This change has been known to most often happen after somebody has had the disorder for some time. To clarify the first answer: Rapid cycling can occur in any type of bipolar disorder. It is not really its own type of bipolar disorder, rather, it is a condition that can occur with a bipolar disorder. It refers to a person who experiences four or more bipolar mood swings in a year. This can also develop over time or be a part of the disorder from the start.
There are 2 diagnostic suffixes that can be added to the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder --"rapid cycling" and "with seasonal pattern."
Did you mean Bipolar, this is a mental illness which is also known as a mood disorder. Its called bi which refers to TWO and polar referring polarity so two polarity, hence we have bipolar 1 n bipolar 2. A person wit bipolar 1 displays severe mood swings n mania with mild depression. A person with bipolar 2 displays severe depression with mild mania, there is also cyclothymic bipolar which is a border line bipolar that often goes undiagnosed
I have bipolar 2 and according to what I have read, yes bipolar is the same as an organic mood disorder. There is two types of organic mood disorders, those that involve depression only and those that involve bipolar. Bipolar involves periods of depression and periods of mania.

Yes. Why wouldn't they be able to? Just because you have Bipolar Disorder doesn't meant that you're unfit to raise a child. I know this from experience, because I'm Bipolar, and I have 2 children.
Bipolar is when you act totally different in sometimes a minute! Bipolar is acting from 2 different "poles", hence bi polar- like happy & sad. I pray there is no mania involved!
Bipolar NOS is a category for bipolar states that do not clearly fit into the bipolar I, II, or cyclothymia diagnoses.
