Is it true that we're all bipolar?!


Question: Is it true that we're all bipolar!?
My friend told me that she thinks she's bipolar!. One minute she was happy, the next she was cursing at her sister, and then she went back to happy!. I told her that it's probably the hormones (we're both 13)!. I also told her that everybody's bipolar; some people are just more bipolar than others!. Is that true!? Because the more I think about it, the more it seems to make sense to me!. Sometimes I get mood swings, and being bipolar means you have really weird mood swings, right!? I don't know, but I'm curious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Bipolar disorder isn't simply being happy and then sad and then happy in the course of an hour!. That is a normal hormonal teenager!. Bipolar disorder is marked by a period of depression followed by a period of mania (and these periods do not simply switch back and forth in a matter of minutes)!. Everyone is hormonal when they are a teenager, and everyone has mood swings sometimes!. Not everyone is bipolar!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No everyone is not bipolar!. It is not uncommon for teenagers to have mood swings, but it is not Manic Depressive Disorder, which is far more serious and extreme!. If you are interested in the disorder you can do your own research, but it involves far more than being happy, then yelling at someone, than being happy again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, that's not true!. Everyone has mood swings, but that's just life, you feel different emotions at different times!. And most people snap at their siblings!.
bipolar is something completely different, people may feel suicidal at their lowest points and manic (which may result in erratic behaviour that can be harmful to themselves and/or others) at other times!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get alot of mood swings, too!. I get mad kind of easy!. One minute i'm laughing my *** of, the next, i'm shouting at my baby sister!
I get depressed or mad, and then i get over it quickly! (I'm 12, by the way)
