What is Bipolar Disorder?
I'm not going to try and give a medical definition here of bipolar disorder.
There are plenty of those around on the internet if you care to do a search. I
am simply going to give you my opinion, based on my experience.
Bipolar disorder was formerly known as manic depression and this term for
the disorder is still used in some quarters today.
Bipolar disorder, as the name suggests, involves mood swings between
depression and elevation plus all points in between. It does not only affect
your mood however.
It can affect your behaviour, your thought patterns, sleep patterns and
feelings. These affects may be minor or major, but the effects of bipolar
disorder in whatever its form require management and treatment.

2. What is it and what are the symptoms?
Untreated, a person who suffers from bipolar disorder can be well and truly on
a path of self destruction. Indeed, the suicide rate amongst bipolars is quite
high.
Interestingly enough, bipolar disorder is referred to as a “mental illness”, yet if
this is true and it is something in the mind, then how is it that it is treated with
drugs?
No-one has yet identified specifically what or how bipolar is caused, but the
most common suggestions are that it is something to do with cells and
activity in the brain.
The brain is the organ we know least about, but it is a physical organ. That
being the case, perhaps we should be referring to bipolar disorder as being as
much a physical illness or disorder as diabetes.
Bipolar disorder is a chronic disorder. That is, once it has been diagnosed
you've won the lottery. You have it for life.

3. What is it and what are the symptoms?
The symptoms of bipolar disorder are broken up into two groups for all intents
and purposes. These are depressive symptoms and manic symptoms.
Manic symptoms are broken down however into a further sub-group known as
“hypomanic” symptoms.
Depression
Feelings of nothingness, a total "void"
Feelings of sadness and/or anxiety
Wanting to cry, but unable to do so
Crying uncontrollably
Remaining in bed for days
Contant tiredness and fatigue
Complete loss of interest in things you enjoyed
Ignoring daily responsibilities and/or personal hygiene
Loss of self esteem
Inability to make even simple decisions
Wanting to die

Suicide ideation
Restlessness, anger or irritability
Mania
Filled with energy, too much to burn
Extravagant spending, even with credit cards
Increased sexual activity and desires
Going without sleep but not getting tired
Feelings of extreme superiority
Delusions of grandeur
Reckless behaviour even at personal risk
Rapid speech
Racing thoughts
Grandiose ideas and schemes
Inappropriate behaviour
Total self confidence, being "bullet proof"
A lower form of mania also can exist which is known as hypomania.
Symptoms of hypomania can include all of the above, but to a lesser degree.

5. What is it and what are the symptoms?
A person in a hypomanic state may exhibit many of the above symptoms but
only to the point where they appear to be very happy or cheerful.
Consequently, it is not as visible or easy to diagnose as a full blown manic
episode.
Because of the two types of mania, bipolar disorder is broken down into two
groups, that of Bipolar 1 and Bipolar 2 and it is here that I will quote from the
American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders. 4th Ed.
Bipolar 1
Characterized by the occurrence of one or more Manic Episodes or Mixed
Episodes. Often individuals have also had one or more Major Depressive
Episodes.
Bipolar 2
Characterized by the occurrence of one or more Major Depressive Episodes
accompanied by at least one Hypomanic Episode.
