What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder causing dramatic shifts in moods, energy level and thinking that can last days, weeks or months. In the past, it was called manic depression because of these shifts back and forth between euphoric, energetic and sad, hopeless, low-energy states. Symptoms often begin in the teens or early twenties.

Bipolar disorder can be debilitating, affecting school, career and relationships. However, with proper treatment and maintenance, a person with bipolar disorder can lead a happy, productive and fulfilling life.
