You're asking about Bipolar disorder ll. If you are seeing a psychiatrist or couselor and taking medications as prescribed, the prognosis is good. There are many well known people with high functioning Bipolar. But you must realize Bipolar is like Diabetes, it's an illness you will have and need to treat all your life.

What is in a bi polar?

Bipolar disorder is a type of depression. There's nothing in it as your question asks. I means you're unhappy (most of the time, but not all the time), you feel stressed out and annoyed sometimes as well.Wrong! Bipolar disorder is not a type of depression! One can be diagnosed bipolar I and never have had any depression, only mania. Admittedly depression is common with bipolar disorder but they are not the same.Some forms of bipolar disorder and their typical symptoms:bipolar I - at least one manic episode, may or may not have depressive episodes (this was previously called manic depression)bipolar II - has never had a manic episode, recurrent depressive episodes (this was previously just diagnosed as recurrent depression)cyclothymia - has never had either manic or depressive episodes, only recurrent periods of hypomania (i.e. mild mania) and dysthymia (i.e. mild depression)Bipolar I & II may or may not have psychosis at the extremes of manic or depressive episodes. Cyclothymia will never have psychosis.

Can the mental disorder be inherited and passed down from parents?

Yes, many mental disorders can have a genetic component and may be inherited from parents. Research indicates that conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder often run in families, suggesting a hereditary influence. However, genetics is just one factor; environmental influences and life experiences also play significant roles in the development of these disorders. Therefore, while the risk may be higher for those with a family history, it is not guaranteed that a child will inherit a mental disorder.


Questions about dating bipolar girl?

The manic-depressive syndrome (known also as bipolar disorder) shouldn't be such a pest if she takes her medicine (lithium) as prescribed. Of course, people with any type of disorders need affection and being shown they're loved, but don't we all need and like that? And the cool part is that many manic-depressive people are the life of the party if they're in one of their manic moods. You just have to be more understanding and loving when it swings.


Can symptoms of depression include being over emotional?

Sometimes. Depression doesn't always involve just the blunting of affect (facially) and a "pulled in" mood. Emotional dysregulation can occasionally be a part of a depressive episode, as well, but this is atypical. If there are emotional "ups and downs" and/or significant irritability of mood, bipolar disorder must be considered, (or even a personality disorder). And, sometimes, being overly emotional can be a temporary reaction to a relationship situation or crisis - which does not necessarily have to meet criteria for either depression or bipolar disorder.

A psychological condition that affects a person's ability to interact normally with others?

Well just about any major psychological disorder makes it difficult for a person to interact normally with others but what I'm assuming you're asking for are disorders like agoraphobia and social phobia. Agoraphobia is defined as a general, unrelenting fear of the outside or any situation in which one cannot easily escape. Social phobia is a fear of situations in which one could be scrutinized or judged by others such as a party or even school. Other disorders that affect one's ability to interact normally include schizophrenia (both disorganized and paranoid types), generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
