Answer to Question 1

Answer: Bipolar disorder is linked to higher neuroticism, but the correlation is smaller than for depression. Bipolar disorder is also linked to higher extraversion, which is the opposite of the low extraversion seen with depression. These are the two poles of bipolar: negative emotion (neuroticism) and positive emotion (extraversion). Mania is also correlated with openness to experience, perhaps why it is seen so often among artists and other creative types.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Bobby has bipolar disorder, which is characterized by manic episodes of high energy followed by a crash into depression (which is why the disorder was once called manic depression). His manic episodes include an elevated, expansive mood, high self-esteem, little need for sleep, impulsive decisions, and a mind that races through ideas.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease.
