How to explain bipolar disorder to friends without scaring them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mood Disorder: Tell them you take medication to keep you moods even and that it works well. If you are one of the rarer people who needs frequent hospitalizations and have serious psychotic symptoms, you shoud have someone who can help take you to the hospital when it is necessary.
