Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder (also called manic depressive illness) is when you have periods of depressive symptoms that alternate or may co-exist with periods of mania. Symptoms of mania include abnormally high levels of excitement and energy, racing thoughts, and behavior that is impulsive and inappropriate.
I decided to write this post to educate people on the symptoms and why explain why they should seek treatment. Hopefully someone will read this post and realize they suffer from this and consult a health care provider. The sooner treatment is sought the sooner they can be on the road to recovery.
