A bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by mood elevation and depression. The primary symptoms of bipolar are the unpredictable dramatic changes in mood consisting of the manic and depressive phases. Common symptoms of the manic phase may include euphoria, excessive talking, hyperactivity, and restlessness. On the other hand, symptoms of the depressive phase are depressed mood, low energy level, apathy, and lack of interest in the usual regular activities.
