The bipolar disease or bipolar disorder is a condition wherein a person experiences extreme highs and lows of emotions. Some people can not fathom the intensity of the bipolar sufferers’ feelings because these are triggered by a person’ s brain and can not be managed or controlled at will. Medication is needed to properly treat this disorder and to manage it and live a normal life.

The bipolar disease usually surfaces when a person with the right factors step on the stage to early adulthood or late teens. Most people who have the bipolar disease are unaware that they have it so family and friends need to be vigilant regarding this. Some misunderstanding may be made regarding a teenager who is depressed or sad and a teenager with the symptoms of the bipolar disease. This is the reason why some teenagers, especially the ones with mild bipolar disorder are just misdiagnosed as temperamental teens and full of angst.
