Dating someone with a mental illness

[Drolefille]

Not all bi-polars lie, but depending on the strength of the manic phase, they may lie to cover up their activities. If you've just bought 3 cartloads worth of "stuff" (that you don't need) or several new cars (that you can't afford), you'll usually start lying about it to the people who care. At the same time, many bi-polars are just very very sociable during their manic phase. If they're lying it's social lies and exaggerated stories.

Short answer, varies due to the person.

But that doesn't mean it's not a symptom, nor does it say anything about whether the lying will stop if he's on meds or not.

I'm manic depresive, one of the few true cases of that alive. It is the most severe form of bipolar disorder.

That's probably why I don't have a girlfriend. I figured that on my own, but glad I got to read about how undateable I am on greek chat. That really clarified it.
