"Bipolar disorder,
also known as manic-depressive illness, is a
brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a
person's mood, energy, and ability to function.
Different from the normal ups and downs that
everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar
disorder are severe. They can result in damaged
relationships, poor job or school performance,
and even suicide. But there is good news:
bipolar disorder can be treated, and people with
this illness can lead full and productive lives.
