I had a neighbour who had bipolar disorder and he can be very rude to us at times we used to get into serious arguments with but recently we found out from another neighbour that he has bipolar and now we dont get into arguments anymore.

I guess the more knowledge you have about the condition the more understanding you can show to the person.

Bipolar disorder i feel is a treatable illness however medication is essential, if there is someone is there to monitor the medication the person can lead a normal life. i have cousin who is married to a man with bipolar who used to be very arrogant but since hes on medication which is properly monitored by my cousin he seems to be doing fine.

A drug is said to be a mood stabilizer if it provides relief from acute episodes of mania or depression, or prevent them from occurring and it does not worsen depression or mania or lead to increased cycling. There are four classes of medications being used for stabilization of bipolar disorder:

Lithium
Anticonvulsants
Antidepressants
Antipsychotics
