Dated a girl on Prozac for depression before. . . don't really like the stuff (the meds or their effect) AFAIK, she basically got some counseling and guit taking it.
I'm no expert, but bi-polar used to be called manic-depressive, which was an easier to understand definition.
Basically it means that the person is happy one minute and crying the next. Violent mood swings (without it being that time of the month, or the week after, or the week before, so even during that one good week). Sorry for making light of a serious issue. Good thing not too many women read this board.
I don't know if there's a chemical test for it or not. I suspect like most psychological things, there's no treatment unless it becomes a problem. Like if you get drunk every weekend and sleep it off Saturday, no one cares, but if you start repeatedly being too hung over to go to work it's an issue.

There is a test for it, but unless you suspect it and care to find out if you have it, you won't know it unless you get locked up for something related to it and you need to get off on some charge ;)
My wife's friend has it, and wanted to know if that was it specifically (in case she passed it along to her daughter), so she investigated it and did what was necessary to be tested for it. The meds are the biggest problem, because they can become ineffective, or the dosage may be too high...and again, if you are having these problems, it's up to the individual to let the doctor know....and they've got issues to start with....kind of an effed up way to treat something, but at least they have methods to deal with them now.
Wait - if Seph is changing himself to make a potential bi-polar happy with his behavior and general attitude, what's that say about HIM! :o ;)

well ya know, females are a mysterious thing. for all I know shes probably just a normal girl... (ok theres no way shes normal.. but thats why i like her).. but yah u get my point =p
we were in the store the other day and she saw a mspac/galaga for sale for like somethin ridiculous like 4k, and shes like pssh you can build a better one than that for cheaper... and im like, thats badass she knows that lol.
oh yeah i discovered spooning while sleeping, when you havent gotten any for a month, is really bad... she tends to like cuddle against me, thus waking up the guy downstairs... and when he keeps getting woken up with no buisness going on he gets pissed off and sore =P
