Answers:
bi-polar is an ever changing disorder!. The symptoms that your friend has right now may not surface again for 3 years!. If you're really good friends like you feel you are!. I would ask if she's taking her medication like it's prescribed!. I would be willing to bet she isn't!. Most people with bi-polar have a short memory span!. They forgive very quickly!. I hope you can continue to forgive her!.

Yes, bi-polar can worsen or medications can quit working!. Any one with bi-polar should be under medical care and take their meds and tell the doctor when things seem to be swinging out of control!. I have been good friends with someone that is bi-polar and I have lived with a parent who suffers from it as well!. With proper meds and consistant dr!. supervison life can be great for everyone!. Without, well, it can be chaos!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
