its actually not a disease, its a disorder.

You can't randomly get dignosed with it. People usually get diagnosed when they are in their 20's but there have been some teen cases. you are born with it and it controls the emotional chemicals in your brain. Not enough of them equals depressed and too much makes the person manic. it does not get better and go away but people with it usually learn how to manage.

bipolar (i think that's how you spell it) is a mental disorder. look up the bipolar symptoms on the internet. if you feel you strongly have any of these symptoms then you may want to bring it up with a GP or someone you trust, but don't do it unless you feel it is truly necessary. if somebody you know may have these symptoms you must also do the same. but don't take my advice too seriously because i am not a medical person or whatever. i hope my advice has been helpful to you, but look up someone else's advice also (please) because i am not an expert.

Bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) causes serious shifts in mood, energy, thinking, and behavior-from the highs of mania on one extreme, to the lows of depression on the other. More than just a fleeting good or bad mood, the cycles of bipolar disorder last for days, weeks, or months. And unlike ordinary mood swings, the mood changes of bipolar disorder are so intense that they interfere with your ability to function.

During a manic episode, a person might impulsively quit a job, charge up huge amounts on credit cards, or feel rested after sleeping two hours. During a depressive episode, the same person might be too tired to get out of bed and full of self-loathing and hopelessness over being unemployed and in debt.

The causes of bipolar disorder aren't completely understood, but it often runs in families. The first manic or depressive episode of bipolar disorder usually occurs in the teenage years or early adulthood. The symptoms can be subtle and confusing, so many people with bipolar disorder are overlooked or misdiagnosed-resulting in unnecessary suffering. But with proper treatment and support, you can lead a rich and fulfilling life.
Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people go back and forth between periods of a very good or irritable mood and depression. The "mood swings" between mania and depression can be very quick.
