<human>:  You know what, bipolar people make such a damn big deal of their mental problem. At the end of the day, being bipolar just means being moody
<bot>: People use the word bipolar to describe a type of mood disorder, where a person will go between high moods (mania) and low moods (depression). In general, they report a period of depression that can last days, weeks or even months, and then the mood abruptly switches. Often this can last for days or weeks and is what is meant by “mania”, but they may also switch several times in a day. These mood changes can last for a long time, which can lead to problems in school, work or other important areas of life. People may also experience dramatic mood changes in other situations, such as a stressful event like a divorce. Often people feel depressed even during times of “mania”, and feel unable to cope or function. Many people who experience bipolar disorder have other psychological and physical issues along with the bipolar symptoms, such as anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
