How to Deal with Bipolar Disorder

Female: Bipolar Disorder, once known as Manic-Depressive Psychosis affects nearly six million American adults.

Male: The dramatic mood swings of bipolar disorder are different from normal ups and downs. These mood swings shift from periods of fanatic activity or manic moods, which may include excessive spending from obscurity and little sleep to hopeless depressive moods characterized by excessive sleep, lack of interest in life and lasting sadness.

Many groundbreaking creative thinkers are thought to have suffered from bipolar disorder including Beethoven, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath.

Because it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between normal mood swings and symptoms of bipolar disorder, many people suffer for years before the illness is properly diagnosed.
