joy61: Need someone normal, sane, mature, self-controlled. Ditto my kid, only more so.

No, I want nothing to do with mental illness, addictions, etc. Crazy is contagious. Live with crazy, become crazy.

yes. I have friends who are bi-polar, work/ed with people who are, and wouldn't mind dating one.

Did you know that 1 in 4 people has a mental disorder? (varies from very mild to very severe) so we "normal people" have 25% chance that we're "barmy" some way on another...so look around, spot the first 3 people, and if they're sane, you're the 4th wow laugh laugh

I did date someone with bipolar many years ago.

My best friend has bipolar.

Why would I reject someone on that basis?

Might as well reject someone for having diabetes or epilepsy or a heart condition!

That would exclude some amazing people from my life!

...bipolar is a more politically correct name to those suffering from Schizophrenia..... neurons basically haywire resulting in heavy mood swings which tend to be very difficult to deal with in a partner.....

....may also be kept in check with the correct medication....

friends4now: it can be controlled with medication but the biggest problem with bi-polar patients is they don't stay on themit would depend on the type they have, what their cycles consist of, and how they manage


I agree. Indeed, in most cases, unfortunately, the patients do not believe they need the medication. thumbs down

wonder from where you got the idea that Bipolar and Schizophrenia are the same thing...
Bipolar and Schizophrenia - What's the Difference?

* Bipolar disorder is one of the many brain diseases that shares symptoms with schizophrenia; this leads to mistaken diagnoses, especially in children. It's important to know that individuals with bipolar disorder, even those that display psychotic symptoms as a feature of their illness, never meet the full diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia. Someone with bipolar disorder is not always in either a manic or a depressive phase; he or she may have long periods during which they seem virtually symptom-free (does not have the disordered thinking, delusions, voices, or other symptoms that characterize schizophrenia). Likewise, any psychotic symptoms associated with bipolar disorder should occur within the context of a manic or a depressive state - delusions of grandeur and hallucinations may be either wildly optimistic and grandiose, or completely disastrous and guilt-ridden.

Schizo-affective disorder is a disease that does contain elements of both schizophrenia and bipolar - it can be described as "schizophrenia with a mood component." The major distinguishing difference between schizo-affective and bipolar with psychotic symptoms is that to be diagnosed schizoaffective, an individual must display the symptoms of schizophrenia (i.e. hallucinations, delusions, etc) without accompanying mood symptoms of mania or depression. In a diagnosis of bipolar, an individual may not always be symptomatic, but within an episode schizophrenia-like symptoms are in the context of mania or depression.

...all well presented notes on the subject.....that does not change the difficulty of having a relationship with a bipolar personality....particularly when those schizophrenic periods do occur.....

...irrespective of the fact that I respect your argument that mental illness is still looked upon by society in general......I cannot but stick to my answer to this thread....


Would you date some one who is bipolar?

NO...I certainly would not.....been there....and thank you....but no thank you....

Its part of my studies atm, so I'm quite informed.

and I don't think u got all that I'm saying,

A person might be bipolar, and not Schizo.
A person might be Schizo and not bipolar.
A person might be both.

so you can't generalize as there is no written rule, that both have to go together.

and re the dating bit, you have all my respect on that issue, after all you have your experiences and I have mine. so cheers
