Abstract

Bipolar disorder, with its varying and extreme emotional mood swings ranging from misery to madness, used to be called hyper depressive disorder. Bipolar disorder is intense and can bring about dangerous behaviors, even suicidal tendencies, and can be treated with treatment and timely medication. There are four different types of bipolar disorders. It is also difficult to diagnose. Left untreated, bipolar disorder tends to worsen. The disorder will show more frequent and severe episodes over time. If bipolar disorder is treated it is possible to lead a healthy and productive life.
