Unfortunately, many individuals suffer from Bi-polar disorder (Types I and II). Manic and depressive states are combined into a volatile mental illness which features both. The sufferer may have depressive episodes followed by manic (or hyper-active) episodes. Only a licensed Psychologist or Psychiatrist can diagnose these disorders.
