Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder in which the sufferer suffers cycles of highs (mania/hypomania) and lows (depression). There are three main types; bipolar I (depression, full-blown mania), bipolar II (depression, hypomania) and cyclothymia (mild depression, hypomania).
It is a mood disorder that consists of drastic mood swings, that are at both sides of the pole. Either depression or mania. Rarely in between. Hence the name, BI POLAR. Manic depression is another reference to bi-polar disorder. ( BI=both POLAR=pole )
