manic depression
Manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression), as well as changes in sleep, energy, thinking, and behavior. These episodes can occur rarely or multiple times a year and may significantly interfere with an individual's daily life, impacting their ability to function. The underlying cause is unknown but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain structure and chemistry may play a role. Treatment often includes a combination of medications and psychotherapy.
