Bipolar disorder is not a disorder that comes in stages. If you are referring to how "bipolar" this person is, well, they are bipolar. So really, how moody they are depends on the day.
No not really. You can tell a bipolar person from another. Bipolar persons will go through many mood swings. The person can feel happy about something one instant and then the next they could be sad or depressed. I would know as my mother is bipolar.
As long as that person can otherwise legally own the firearm.
No it isn't. A person can not transfer being bipolar to you and it's nothing you can catch.
