What is Bipolar?

Bipolar Disorder, also known as manic depressive illness, is a common illness characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and major depression. An affected person's mood can swing from excessive highs (mania) to profound hopelessness (depression), usually with periods of normal mood in between. Some individuals may exhibit mixed symptoms of both mania and depression at the same time, while others may have more moderate symptoms of mania (hypomania).
