Bipolar is a mental disorder characterized by severe mood swings. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago and know more about it than I ever wanted to! Severe depression and then total mania (up mood), confusing for others around you who don't understand it.

Bipolar Disorder is a condition that affects many people. A great resource for information on this condition is located at http://www.bipolar.com. A short description is that it is a condition that causes extreme highs and lows for the person who is suffering from it. It is misdiagnosed, mistreated and hard to find a medication combination that will allow the person to live a normal life. The good news is that you can live a normal life with this condition. It just takes work and the strength to work with the Doctors to find the best medication routine for the person who has it.

It sounds like a mental issue with the mind. Having racing strange thoughts.. Depression plays a key factor in this. It is like a disorder.
