Bipolar disorder

Note on usage: "Manic-depression" was the original term used for the disorder. While it is still commonly used to refer to bipolar disorder, the term manic depression is also now used (by a relatively small number of mental health professionals) to refer to the entire clinical spectrum of mood disorders that includes both bipolar disorder and unipolar depression. Others are trying to phase out the term entirely.
