hi, your low iron level is directly related to your excessive menstrual bleeding. however it has no any relation with bipolar disorder. you have excessive blood loss which leads to loss of iron ultimatly leads to iron deficiency anemia. so consult gynecologist and search for the caus of heavy bleeding. once it is stoped your iron level will increase gradually. and also take iron reach food like jeggery, dryfruits, green leafy vegetables etc. also consult pshychiatrist for bipolar disorder. but it has no relation wtih your low iron level.
