In the Mental Health field, Bipolar Affective Disorder is a major mood disorder with alternating mood states of Mania and Depression often interspersed with normal mood states.
Manias involve excessive exuberant moods and high degrees of energy.
Depressions involve excessive poor moods and low energy levels.
They are therefore as opposite as two magnetic poles (as, for example, the North Pole is the opposite of the South).
Thus, bipolar describes the opposite nature of the two dominant mood traits using the analogy of polarity.
