What is Bipolar?Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a mental illness that brings severe high and low moods and changes in sleep, energy, thinking, and behavior. People who have bipolar disorder can have periods in which they feel overly happy and energized and other periods of feeling very sad, hopeless, and sluggish. In between those periods, they usually feel normal.

These feelings can also involve irritability and impulsive or reckless decision-making. About half of people during mania can also have delusions (believing things that aren't true and that they can't be talked out of) or hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there).What Are the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder?Excessive happiness, hopefulness, and excitementSudden changes from being joyful to being irritable, angry, and hostileRestlessnessRapid speech and poor concentrationIncreased energy and less need for sleep
