From high to low. From euphoria to depression. From
recklessness to listlessness. These are the extremes associated with
bipolar disorder, which can be a serious and disabling mental illness.
The condition is also known as manic-depression or manic-depressive
illness — from manias on the one extreme to depression on the other.
Until recently, bipolar disorder was known as manic
depression. The word bipolar is now used to indicate the 2 poles, or
extremes, that characterize the disorder. Bipolar disorder can affect a
person's ability to experience a normal range of mood.
Bipolar I Disorder
Bipolar I Disorder is one of the most severe forms of
mental illness and is characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and
(more often) depression. The condition has a high rate of recurrence and
if untreated, it has an approximately 15% risk of death by suicide. It
is the third leading cause of death among people aged 15-24 years, and
is the 6th leading cause of disability (lost years of healthy life) for
people aged 15-44 years in the developed world.
