Bi-Polar disorder is Manic Depression. It's characterized by manic periods where you're not sleeping much and, well, manic -- and other periods where you're pretty severely depressed. It's not very common, and is treatable with the right combination of medications. You'd have to be diagnosed by a psychiatrist.

I do not suppose Manic Depresstion is the identical as Bi-polar disease. When anyone is Manic Depressive they opt for a interval of time (whether or not it is lengthy or brief is determined by how extreme they're) being pleased or unhappy after which progressively they think the reverse and they do not know why. Sometimes proper earlier than a Manic depressive character will get depressed they are going to cross on a browsing spree and purchase matters they particularly don't want or purchase matters for anyone. Being Bi-polar signifies that you'll be able to be pleased one second and in an instantaneous cross insane the following. Any little factor can set it off. It is not such a lot as an emotional curler coaster as being Manic Depressive is. It's very erratic and does not have a suite sample like Manic Depressive-ness does.

They are the same thing. Manic-Depressive is what Bi-polar used to be called. Nowadays the term "Bi-polar" is used most of the time.
