Bipolar disorder is characterized by periods of deep, prolonged and profound depression that alternates with periods of an excessively elevated or irritable mood known as mania
People who have bipolar disorder experience extreme changes in mood, energy, and behavior. They alternate, or switch, between two opposite emotions. Bi means ‘two’ and polar means ‘opposite’.
Their mood repeatedly alternates from extremely happy, or high, to sad and hopeless.
Most of the scientists agreed that the condition is linked to certain abnormalities in the brain. Bipolar disorder is considered a physiological condition and not simply a psychological illness.
There are four factors that make people vulnerable to bipolar disorder:
*Heredity genes
*Abnormal brain structure and function
*Environmental factors
*Psychological factors
