What is Bipolar Disorder?

Most people, at some time or another, experience a bout of depression.  This is perfectly normal.  Sometimes situations get us down,  life gets hard and we feel sad.  Life is filled with every day ups and downs, but for some people there is never any in between….never any peace.

People with Bipolar Disorder (also called manic depression), experience extreme feelings with no relief in sight.

• These ups and downs can be too much for a person to cope with.
• They can interfere with daily life.
• Sometimes they can even be dangerous.

Up and downs.  One day you may feel so depressed that you can’t get out of bed or you might be thinking that the world would be better off if you were not it in.

Another day you might feel amazing and full of endless energy. You may get obsessed with a project and not stop to eat or drink until it is all done. You may see this as being very productive, but others will recognize that it is not normal and you are out of control.

Bipolar disorder is a condition that affects about 1 out of every 100 people. Is it likely that you know several people who experience symptoms of bipolar disorder.
