Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder or Bipolar Affective Disorder is a mood related disorder. We all feel different types of emotions depending on the situation and can be happy at times and sad at others. In bipolar disorder, these mood changes occur in the extreme. Therefore, a person could feel intensely sad or despondent, when we call them depressed; similarly, they could feel intensely happy or euphoric to the point they lose judgment and stop being rational, when we say they are manic. Due to this the old name for this condition was Manic Depression and people with this disorder have episodes of depression and episodes of mania.For more info visit http://psychiatristinsydney.com.au/bipolar-disorder-treatment/
