I have to present a 20 minute seminar on bipolar disorder and I need to engage my class throughout the presentation. What are some questions I can ask them regarding bipolar disorder? Maybe an activity i can have them do in small groups?
ANYTHING?

You can look up some of the common misconceptions about bipolar - look through some answers on here and you'll find plenty - and then you can ask them before you start your presentation questions like " who here thinks that bipolar people...... blank... raise your hand " type questions. Then you address each one before you start your presentation. You could ask questions periodically, before you say parts of your presentation that are already in it, too and throw out a piece of candy to whomever gets it right. Even if your in college everyone likes getting candy. ie " how many different kinds of bipolar are there?" "Does everyone with bipolar have mania?" "Is mania always a euphoric or pleasurable feeling?
Also visuals are always nice. Try finding some clips of someone in a manic episode. They may appear to be on speed and their thoughts are scattered and not always true. Also try a video type montonge to try getting across what the sensation of - racing thoughts is like - etc
