The "official" name is "Bipolar disorder." There are subcategories, with slightly longer names - for a listing of these see http://counsellingresource.com/distress/dsm-codes/dsm-disorder.html The wikipedia article is good, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder

What is the worst mental illness?

Bipolar I Disorder (mot to be confused with Bipolar II). Highest suicide rate, mania, to include hallucinations and hearing voices, often violence. Bipolar I disorder also includes hypomania and severe depression. The term "Bipolar" at one time was known as Manic Depressive Illness. Currently, the name for the illness has come to include, erroneously, the Bipolar II. Bipolar II does not have the element of mania that Bipolar I does. Actually Bipolar II does have a manic element, but it is hypomanic, which is a lot less severe than the mania of Bipolar I. A lot of people, like me, start out as Bipolar II but become Bipolar I when they have their first full-blown manic attack (I prefer attack to episode because that's what it is--an attack on the mind).
