Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that alternate between periods of mania or hypomania (elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep) and depression (low mood, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, thoughts of death or suicide). It typically begins in early adulthood and affects both men and women.

Bipolar disorder is classified into different types based on the severity and frequency of episodes. These include:

• Bipolar I disorder: This involves episodes of mania that last at least seven days or are severe enough to require hospitalization, as well as periods of depression.
• Bipolar II disorder: This involves periods of hypomania (a milder form of mania) that alternate with periods of depression.
• Cyclothymic disorder: This involves periods of hypomania and mild depression that last for at least two years.

The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not known, but it's believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and biological factors. It typically begins in late adolescence or early adulthood and affects both men and women.

Treatment for bipolar disorder usually involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. Medications used to treat bipolar disorder include mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants. Psychotherapy can help individuals learn coping skills and manage symptoms, while lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep can also be helpful in managing symptoms.
