Answer 2

Hospital descrition-Extreme mood swings punctuated by periods of generally even-keeled behavior characterize this disorder. Bipolar disorder tends to run in families. This disorder typically begins in the mid-twenties and continues throughout life. Without treatment, people who have bipolar disorder often go through devastating life events such as marital breakups, job loss, substance abuse, and suicide.

My descrition-I think what cause a mood disorder is how they feel in the inside, I mean you can heal it, it's just that you have to pick do u want to heal yourself or not? I use to have mood disorder and some of my mum friends thought there was a demon or some sh*t inside me but no, I went through alot in my life and don't know whats real and not anymore and that just kills and hurts my in the inside. You just need to change the way you are lookign at life and otheres. It is your chose you are in control of your life, no ones gonna live it for you.
