I am planning to tell my friend whole is comeing over next week, and let her see underneath my mask. If you don't know what bipolar disorder is you may knokw it as manic disorder, Bipolar disorder was formerly called manic depression. It is a form of major affective disorder, or mood disorder, defined by manic or hypomanic episodes (changes from one's normal mood accompanied by high energy states). Bipolar disorder is a serious condition, for instance, mania can cause sleeplessness, sometimes for days, along with hallucinations, psychosis, grandiose delusions, or paranoid rage. In addition, depressive episodes can be more devastating and harder to treat than for people who never have manias or hypomanias.Bipolar disorder was formerly called manic depression.
