Bipolar Disorder is a psychological disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. There are two types of Bipolar Disorder, and they are Type I and Type II.

Activity that could be seen as "hyper" might also appear in individuals with Bi-Polar Disorder or Manic- Depressive Disorder and is referred to as the Manic stage.
