      Introduction

      Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental disorder characterized by periods of elevated or irritable mood and energy (mania) followed by periods of depression. These mood swings can be severe and can affect a person’s ability to carry out their daily activities. Bipolar disorder typically develops in a person’s late teenage years or early adulthood, and it can significantly impact a person’s relationships, work, and overall quality of life. The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. Bipolar disorder is a treatable condition, and with proper treatment, people with this disorder can lead fulfilling and productive lives.

      History of Bipolar Disorder

      The concept of bipolar disorder has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations. The ancient Greeks, for example, described two extreme states of mood that they called mania and melancholia, which are similar to what we now know as mania and depression. The term bipolar disorder was not coined until the 20th century, however.

      In the 19th century, the German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin first described the condition we now know as bipolar disorder in his textbook Compendium of Psychiatry. Kraepelin used the term manic-depressive psychosis to describe the condition, which he saw as a single, continuous disorder with both manic and depressive episodes.

      In the early 20th century, the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung described a similar condition that he
