Research Notes on Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness or manic depression, is a serious mental illness that is different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through.1 The extremes of mania and depression associated with bipolar disorder cause an instability that can be disabling.2 Untreated, bipolar disorder can result in severe problems, including poor performance in work or school, legal or financial problems, relationship problems, isolation, alcoholism, substance abuse, and even suicide.3 However, effective treatments exist; generally a combination of medicines and therapy works best.4
