Bipolar Disorder is Now a More Common Disease to be Treated

Abstract

Bipolar disorder, which is also known as manic-depressive psychosis (bipolar disorder type 1), is a disease that causes mood disorders manifested in both depression and excitation phases. These phases appear either in reaction to stress or for no apparent reason and may be of varying intensity and intersect with periods of stability. It is a category of mood disorders defined by the abnormal fluctuation of mood, oscillating between periods of elevated mood or irritability (mania or in its less severe form of hypomania), periods of depression and periods of normal mood (euthymia).
