Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person’s mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration. These shifts can make it difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks. There are three types of bipolar disorder. It is characterized by periods of depression and periods of abnormally elevated mood that each last from days to weeks. If the elevated mood is severe or associated with psychosis, it is called mania; if it is less severe, it is called hypomania.

    – Manic episodes: Characterized by extreme happiness, hopefulness, and excitement; irritability, anger, fits of rage, and hostile behavior; restlessness; agitation; rapid speech; poor concentration and judgment; increased energy; less need for sleep; unusually high sex drive; setting unrealistic goals; and paranoia.
    – Depressive episodes: Characterized by sadness and crying; feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, and guilt; loss of energy; loss of interest or pleasure in everyday activities; trouble concentrating and making decisions; irritability; need for more sleep or sleeplessness; change in appetite; weight loss/gain; and suicidal thoughts and attempts at suicide.

    The exact cause of bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depressive psychosis, is unknown. However, several factors may be involved, such as biological differences, genetics, and environmental triggers. People with bipolar disorder appear to have physical changes in their brains. The significance of these changes is still uncertain but may eventually help pinpoint causes. Bipolar disorder also seems to run in families, suggesting a genetic link. However, no single gene is responsible for bipolar disorder; instead, a number of genetic and environmental factors are thought to act as triggers. Stressful life events such as the breakdown of a relationship, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, or the death of a close family member or loved one can trigger the symptoms of bipolar disorder.

    Manic Depressive Psychosis is an outdated term that was used to describe what is now known as Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy, or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior, and the ability to think clearly.
