Bipolar Disorder |
People with bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, are afflicted with bouts of major depression and periods of mania-euphoria, poor judgment, and extreme risk-taking activity-in an often debilitating cycle. Onset usually occurs in mid-to-late adolescence, though there are rare cases in children. Perhaps 1 to 3% of the population has the disorder, which affects males and females equally.
