Who termed the disorder named Bipolar Disorder?
A relationship between mania and melancholia had long been observed, although the basis of the current conceptualisation can be traced back to French psychiatrists in the 1850s. The term "manic-depressive illness" or psychosis was coined by German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin in the late nineteenth century, originally referring to all kinds of mood disorder. German psychiatrist Karl Leonhard split the classification again in 1957, employing the terms unipolar disorder (major depressive disorder) and bipolar disorder.
How can you tell if you have bipolar disorder instead of teenage hormones?
Bipolar mood disorder has such a wide and varied spectrum of symptoms, that it is difficult to pin down sometimes. It is always advisable to go to the doctor and discuss the possibilities, so that the doctor can refer this to a consultant psychiatrist if necessary. Bipolar disorder is life long, whereas teenage hormones will pass. It is a good idea to make a note of the symptoms someone is suffering, before they go to the doctor, as this will help the medic make a decision on diagnosis. Also note that Bipolar Disorder is an adult onset disease, and though in a relatively small number of cases it can have an onset in the mid to late teens, it is by no means a problem common to adolescents.

Is bipolar disorder truly incurable?
* It can be. it just depends on what methods are used and how severe the case is. Hypnosis, although effective, is an unethical and unreliable method to use in this case; it only covers up the symptoms rather than "curing" them. Many bipolar sufferers use drugs to suppress the symptoms but others, such as Stephen Fry, have grown to love their illness, because the feelings of elation that come with it can outweigh the depression. == == * There is no "cure" for Bipolar, however it can be managed with medications. Bipolar is a life-long disease, however one can live a normal, healthy & happy life when they are in treatment for their Bipolar disorder. * Like any other illness, bipolar can be treated but never cured. Or, not cured until gene therapy can make more discoveries. And that is because bipolar is a genetic disorder. -clm * It's only controlled by medication. Even with medication, it is still a guessing game, you are told "if this medication your taking is not working, let's change and try this". Or they add additional medications. Not everyone can live to be normal and happy with bipolar, like the above statement. Ask anyone who has experienced bipolar disorder
