* Moods swings – these mood manifestations are not what we normally see or experience ourselves; they are dramatic ups and downs. When a person suffering bipolar disease is experiencing a down period they are liable to have suicidal thoughts and behaviors. On the other hand when they experience an up mood swing they are on top of the world and everything looks pink and possible.
* Energy displacement – a person suffering from bipolar disorder experiences at times tremendous energy bursts and that may keep him/her awake for days and they often don’t eat well during these periods.
These behaviors are called episodes of mania and depression; they can be easily recognized in both the above-mentioned cases.

Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is also known as manic- depressive illness that causes mood swings, energy displacement and ability to function normally. It is a brain disease that cannot be cured; just like heart disease or diabetes, but with proper treatment and understanding of the illness one can treat it so it will be under control thus, no longer life threatening.
