Answers:
I was diagnosed Bipolar when I was 17 years old!. This illness can hit anyone at anytime! At times it can be difficult to cope with you but you just have to get on and try to live as normal life as you can!. I function quite well and I work full-time!. Sure I get my days when I want to run and hide from the world and I get low but the high days can be just as bad!. I can get very manic high where I could spend money and I get to the point where I feel invinsible and can do anything!. The extreme lows and highs can be dangerous!. Although I've never felt suicidal I do get days where I think the world be a better place without me!. Anyway, Bipolar is difficult to understand at the best of times!. If you need any support then please e-mail me and I'll do my best to help you!. I've been living with Bipolar since I was a youngster and now I'm 30 yrs of age!.

Edit* I have a very understanding family and doctor!. My Mom and Grandmother suffer with Bipolar as well so it definitely runs in the genes in my case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it can happen at anytime and people can live with it for years without it being diagnosed, you should visit your GP, they will recomend you to see a psychiatrist or maybe a psychologist, they will ask questions about your symptoms and also about your family!.!.!.!.Good Luck, do try to visit your doc as soon as poss, at least if you can get it diagnosed you can start feeling better =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

symptoms often start in childhood, but diagnosis can happen as late as people in their 40s - 50s!.

Once a clear diagnosis is made, therapy is often very helpful as well as lifestyle changes to reduce stress!.
