Disease Description
Bipolar disorder or bipolar affective disorder, historically known as manic–depressive disorder, is a psychiatric diagnosis in which people experience intermittent abnormally elevated (manic or hypomanic) and, in many cases, abnormally depressed states for periods of time in a way that interferes with functioning. The elevated moods are clinically referred to as mania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes, or symptoms, or a mixed state in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. Severe manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations.
The current term bipolar disorder is of fairly recent origin and refers to the cycling between high and low episodes (poles).
Not everyone's symptoms are the same, and there is no simple physiological test to confirm the disorder. What distinguishes bipolar disorder from unipolar depression is that the affected person experiences states of mania and depression. Often bipolar is inconsistent among patients because some people feel depressed more often than not and experience little mania whereas others experience predominantly manic symptoms.
