The more modern term would be bipolar, which is a disorder that causes people to alternate between two extremes in their emotional state (sometimes referred to as poles).

Another term for this is Manic-Depressive, where the feeling of extreme happiness is the manic state, and the extreme sadness is considered depressive.
