Go to a search engine (say yahoo or google) & type in something like bipolar? Or what is bi-polar? Or bipolar disease/condition? That should get you to a site which explains this condition.

Bipolar
Bipolar is having two poles or extremities.


One textbook definition describes bipolar disorder as: "a major affective disorder in which an individual alternates between states of deep depression and extreme elation."

Well, bipolarism is characterized by sudden bursts of disruptive behavior, kinda like extreme moodiness. If you or someone you know tends to go straight from bouts of hyper activity to extreme anger or depression, you might want to check with a doctor. They do have medications for bipolarism that are quite effective. I have a friend whom I never knew was bipolar until it came up once in a conversation.

My Mother Is Bipolar!!!
Bipolar is basically when it feels like there are two different people inside you...Or atleast that's the way my mom describes it. It's mood swings for the most part. Like one minute, that person might be happy and the next he/she might be sad or upset or angry.
Let me know how everything is going
