Bi-polar Disorder, formerly known as Manic Depression, is a mood disorder. It can exhibit in periods of high energy, little sleep, and very socially engaged/talkative. It often can include periods of low energy, over sleeping associated with social withdrawal combined with feelings of worthlessness. It is not a requirement to have both extremes in order to have the disorder. Sometimes this disorder can affect a person’s thinking processes.
