What Is a Psychotherapist? What Is a Clinical Social Worker? ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonial Overview Bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive disorder, is a mood disorder in which people experience alternating episodes of mania and major depression. Mania is characterized by elation, irritability, excitability, racing thought and speech, and hyperactivity. Major depression is characterized by sadness, withdrawal, despair, and suicidal thoughts. In the early 1900s, the German psychiatrist Emil Kraeplin was the first to formally describe bipolar disorder. He used the term "manic depressive" to explain how mania and depression both affect the patient. His work in the early 20th century led to advancements in classifying, treating, and predicting the course of mental illness, which ushered in the formal discipline of psychiatry. Bipolar disorder has two distinct classifications: Bipolar I : history of major depression and at least one episode of mania Bipolar II : history of major depression and much less severe episodes of mania (hypomania) Bipolar I An onset before the age of 30 usually results in frequent, severe episodes. Psychosis is more common in this group and symptoms tend to linger between episodes. An onset after the age of 40 has a better prognosis. Generally, short episodes, late onset, the absence of other medical or psychiatric conditions, and early treatment have a better prognosis.
