Most people have times in life when they are extremely happy. You may feel especially generous in relation to other, more active and have more confidence in yourself.

What is bipolar disorder?

Bipolar disorder (commonly used in the sense of “manic depression“) is a mental disorder when a person experiences extreme highs (mania) and extreme lows (depression).

The length of these periods varies from person to person and can last for a few hours ortake up to several days, weeks or even months.

When people are in a manic phase, they are often hyperactive, do not seem to need along sleep and have difficulty controlling their thoughts, which often manifests itself in a continuous chatter.

When people are in a depressive phase, they may be too sad, can scream, often for no reason. And they can also avoid activities that previously brought them pleasure and a lot of sleep.

Emotional state, like a roller coaster

People who suffer from bipolar disorder often describe their emotional state as something resembling a roller coaster, which is very tiring for them and all involved in their lives.

Most people who are diagnosed with this disorder, initially trying to cure depression. The irony is that often the treatment of depression leads to a manic phase, which leads people to believe that they are cured.
