About Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, is a psychological disorder based on cyclical mood swings. People in a manic state can be energetic, positive and productive.

For some it can be crushing, but for others it can lead to creativity, goal striving, and positive achievements.
