It is called Bipolar disorder or Manic-depressive illness
In contrast to major depression and dysthymia, what is now referred to as bipolar affective disorder, but is still commonly called manic-depressive illness, affects both sexes relatively equally, with about 1% of the general population at risk for cyclic bouts of depression and mania!. Bipolar disorder often begins in the teenage years or early 20s, and when it does, is commonly mistaken for normal teenage rebellion or distress!.
Depending on which "pole" of the illness shows its face first, people may be labeled as either depressive or psychotic, and the real diagnosis, bipolar affective disorder, won't be made for some time!.
Mood swings between depression and mania (or a slightly less florid form of mania referred to as "hypomania") can last weeks or months, with depressive states lasting longer than manic phases!. In between the two states, people can feel and function quite normally!. Most people have three or fewer cycles of depression and mania a year but some can have more than four episodes a year!. Over a lifetime, the average person with bipolar affective disorder experiences 10 episodes of cyclic depression and mania!.
The depressive cycle of bipolar disorder and major depressive illness are the same, except that people with bipolar disorder can often feel more irritable than depressed!. People with bipolar illness also tend towards too much sleep when they are depressed rather than insomnia as is more typical of major depressive disorder!. They also tend to gain weight rather than lose weight as do some depressed people and they often experience extreme fatigue!.
The main distinguishing feature between depression and bipolar affective disorder is the presence of the opposite "pole", namely mania or hypomania!. Like 38-year old Elisabeth J!., not all people who enter into their manic phase feel euphoric and invincible!. Instead, people can feel extremely irritable, or behave belligerently, or are terribly angry and disruptive and have no sense of euphoria at all!. Commonly, though, manic people nurture delusions of grandeur!. (Elisabeth J!. for example, declared that she was becoming God during the high phase of her bipolar illness)!. Manic people also often make impulsive, expensive and inevitably impossible plans during their manic episodes and irresponsible behavior - mad shopping sprees, ill-conceived business deals and other erratic behaviors - are common!.
As well, judgment is clearly impaired!. One Chairman of the Board, for example, fired the Board while going through his manic phase, to the financial ruin of the company!. A university professor, flushed with the power of mania at the time, cancelled final exams to the detriment (although not to the displeasure) of his students!. And while some people can get quite a lot done during the earlier stages of the manic episode, as symptoms become more severe, activities becomes more and more frantic, a million projects are started, none of them to be finished, and frenzied activity, accompanied by rapid-fire speech and no need for sleep, are the hallmarks of manic episodes!. Importantly, too, sexuality may be heightened during a manic episode along with everything else!.
If unwisely acted upon, heightened sexual activity can lead to serious repercussions including unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and a terrible aftermath of guilt!. Bipolar patients whose manic phase is less intense have what is called "hypomania"!. Although symptoms are similar to those associated with full-blown mania, they are less pronounced and there are no signs of psychosis!. More so even than with recurrent major depression, the vast majority of people with bipolar affective disorder have multiple recurrences, and the length of symptom-free intervals decreases with age!.
The first signs of bipolar disorder increasingly are being recognized in adolescence or early adulthood, at which point people may have symptoms of depression, mania or psychosis!. The younger the person is when they first develop bipolar affective disorder, the more likely there is to be a family history of the same mental illness!.
