Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. Bipolar disorder causes dramatic mood swings—from overly "high" energy to sad and hopeless, and then back again. Bipolar disorder significantly impairs school performances and damages social interaction with peers and family.
