    Bipolar Disorder is synonymous with Manic-Depressive. Mania is characterized by euphoria, flight of thoughts, feeling on top of the world. Depression can be characterized by sleep and appetite disturbances, loss of enjoyment in activities, etc.

    A bipolar person experiences both of these at different times. He or she may be depressed for a couple of weeks, then be manic for a couple of weeks. Mood stabilizing drugs are used to treat it.
