Understanding Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a chronic mental illness marked by depressive and manic/hypomanic episodes. These changes in mood are severe, prolonged, and have a substantial impact on social, professional, and personal functioning; they are not normal ups and downs.
Bipolar disorder can interfere with relationships, professional development, and general quality of life if left untreated. Recovery depends on early diagnosis and long-term care.

Types of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar I Disorder

  • One or more manic episodes lasting at least 7 days or requiring hospitalization
  • Often associated with major depressive episodes lasting 2 weeks or more

Bipolar II Disorder

  • Recurrent depressive episodes
  • Hypomanic episodes (less severe than full mania, but still disruptive)

Cyclothymic Disorder

  • Chronic, fluctuating mood disturbances
  • Multiple hypomanic and depressive symptoms lasting at least 2 years
