Another name for bipolar disorder is manic depression and it is often debilitating to those that are living with it. This does not include the impact that it has on the people around them that love them. It is important to know that there are two types of bipolar disorders. The first is bipolar disorder I which has moments of euphoria and moments of mania that are then accompanied by feelings of depression.

When I studied bipolar disorder in medical school, I thought it was very simple. You got high, you got low, you got better, then you started again.

But my direct experience changed my beliefs.
