“Bipolar” is commonly used to refer to someone who acts hot and cold, popularized by Katy Perry’s hit single, “Hot N Cold.” To be hot and cold, in the context of a relationship, is to sometimes act close to your significant other, but then in the next moment to pull away. In general, it’s someone who acts one way and then suddenly acts in a different way later, and then keeps switching back and forth. It is usually a source of vexation to people when they have people in their lives who act this way, and they often use the term “bipolar” to categorize these individuals. However, true bipolar disorder is more than just having capricious whims. Bipolar disorder is a serious condition that affects many more people than you might think, most recently Catherine Zeta Jones, the famous actress. Famous and non-famous people alike suffer from bipolar disorder, and the public would do well to inform themselves of what this mental disorder truly entails.
