Featured: Bipolar Disorder (Mania) Main Article
Bipolar disorder is a type of depression that involves mood swings of depressive episodes and mania (or manic episodes). Sometimes the switch between depressive and mania episodes (mood swings) is dramatic and rapid, but more often it's gradual and slow. Bipolar disorder is a recurrent illness. Treatment strategies for bipolar disorder that combine medication and psychosocial treatment are optimal for managing the disorder over time.
