bipolarity

Bipolarity is a condition that affects how people feel and act. People with bipolar disorder can have extreme moods that range from being very happy and energized (known as 'mania') to feeling very sad and tired (known as 'depression'). These changes in mood can be very sudden and extreme, so people with bipolar disorder can go from feeling really good one minute to really bad the next.
