Bi polar is the politically correct term for manic depression

And an excuse for anything that goes wrong.

It's a polar bear who is unsure of their sexuality













I'm joking!

my thanks, to you: Laughsandgiggles

you are most welcome.

Something made up to excuse people that act stupid

Hey just ask any bi polar person why and they will tell ya it's because they are bi polar.

I worked with an erratically behaved vice pres at a bank and I just started calling him a bi-polar bear to his face!!! He actually didn't mind!!!

Bi Polar is the new name for manic depression. everyone has ups and downs but what distinguishes normal behavior from bi polar behavior is excessive depression where you can't get out of bed for days or months and then an extreme "happiness" for no real reason. It doesn't matter if your life is falling apart around you and you have no money, you just know that your going to buy that new car anyway, you shop way beyond your means or even if you are on your way to jail, life couldn't be better.. this is the manic side. Sometimes the "happiness" could turn into rage for no good reason. Bi-polar disorder is an axis 1 classification and can be helped. Depending on the extremity of the disorder, cognitive counseling can help most. It teaches you the signs and how to reverse them when you recognize them. Some people needs drugs but that would only be in the most extreme cases and that is dangerous because of dosing issues.
