If your bipolar, is it a bad idea to date someone who is also bipolar?

My daughter is bipolar and her boyfriend is bipolar as well. They are both type 1 if that helps.

Just wanted to know if anyone had thoughts about this, or if this has been your situation before.

Please no rude comments.

Thanks!

    As long as they are on medicine then it should be fine. Make sure they don't swap pills such as if one of them ran out they take the others for the day.

    keep an eye on the situation, they may find comfort in the fact that they have a shared ailment,

    but if things are clearly not working out, it may be time to step in.

    right off the bat however, I see no reason to kill off young love.

    If they are both taking their meds and are keeping doctor appointments etc, I would think they could have a fairly healthy relationship!!
