It's not that cut and dried, Phil. Although the regulations state that a diagnosed bipolar is to be denied a medical airworthiness certificate on the initial medical examination, the final decision is deferred to a medical review board. Stable bipolars can be granted a special authorization certificate.
The complete psych considerations are in this document, beginning on page 115: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/media/guide06.pdf
