Bipolar disorder or manic depression is a psychological illness which manifests as having extreme changes in mood, behavior and thought. A person s mood can change from mania to depression in a short period of time. These mood swings from highs to lows can last for hours, days, weeks, or months. A person with this mood disorder has a unique pattern of mood fluctuations specific to him but once his pattern is analyzed, it can be quite foreseeable.

Bipolar disorder usually starts in late adolescence or early adulthood but it can also start in early childhood or late adulthood. Recent studies show a genetic factor to this illness. It affects men and women equally although their initial manifestations of

the disorder may differ (men start with a manic episode while women with a depressive episode). The disorder can be found in all races and social classes. It continues throughout life. Because the symptoms are episodic, one may not be diagnosed correctly. Thus, those who have the illness may not be treated early. Once properly diagnosed, however, the illness can be treated.

Craziness can attack anyone at any time and surely win the battle because it is very strong and powerful. This is because the biggest part of the human conscience belongs to our wild and primitive conscience that has a very violent, cold and cruel character.

This dangerous part of the human psychic sphere is responsible for the invasion of craziness in the human conscience.

Psychiatrists cannot see what happens inside the psychic sphere of the patient, and they cannot understand his or her behaviour.
