Bipolar disorder is a disorder where you have reoccurring episodes of depression or mania. Because these mood states are opposite in nature and say they have opposite polarity. It’s like a magnetic pole that has opposite ends of attraction. At one pole of the mood disorder spectrum, you have depression which is a low mood state and low energy state and at the opposite pole is mania where you have a high mood and high energy state. In this video I discuss how unipolar mania behaves differently from bipolar mania and how the treatment may be different.
