Bipolar Disorder (also known as manic depression) is a treatable condition that affects brain function. It causes extreme changes in mood, thought, energy and behavior. People experiencing bipolar disorder can have moods alternating between the 'poles' of mania (high, elevated mood) and depression (low, depressed mood). These 'mood swings' can last for hours, days, weeks, or even months.
