It's not unusual to feel extremely apathetic when going through a depressive episode. Since part of bipolar disorder is the depressed mood swings, it would be expected that they may feel a sense of apathy while depressed. In general though, people with bipolar disorder aren't any more likely to be apathetic (when not depressed) than anyone else.

Apathy is more of a Schizophrenic trait, as far as I know.
