Bipolar disorder, also called manic depression, is a treatable condition marked by extreme changes in mood, thoughts, energy, and behavior. People with bipolar disorder alternate between “poles”- mania (highs) and depression (lows). These mood shifts can last hours, days, weeks, or months.
Men and women develop this illness in roughly equal numbers. Men often show manic episodes first, while women usually experience depressive episodes initially. Genetics also influences the risk of developing bipolar disorder. If a family member has bipolar disorder, other relatives face an increased risk.
