First thing I would do would be to contact AOPA's legal
department if you are a member of AOPA. I would need
to do some research on this but taking a wild guess,
if you are bi-polar, I don't think you are allowed
to fly even if you think you are alright. The reasons
should be simple for this, and like I said, I will
do a little research before putting this in stone.
Bi-polare dissorder is a chemical imbalance in the
brain. It causes highs and lows which are interpreted
as euphoria and depression. Euphoria could be construed
as 'Hey everyone, watch this' and you make a mistake
because you feel like you are invincible. On the depression
stage, I think the FAA would be worried about you being
so depressed that you stuff yourself and your glider
into the ground.
Be really careful as I think that someone who is bi-polar
is not capable of saying that they are medically fit
to fly. Just my opinion so don't go jumping down my
throat...... I will try to find concrete information
later today.
