Bipolar Diasorder

The Bipolar disorder is a mental illness in which you have tremendous mood changes that vary from a manic stage to a depressive stage.  Normally when you are a little kid and suffer of bipolarity your mood swings change for depressive to madness and maniac.  So when you are a kid your mood swings are only angry and maniac.  The bipolar disorder can only be treated but it cannot be cured.  It affects equally men and women but it is most common to appear in the ages between 15 and 25.  The best treatment for bipolarity is the lithium doses which take out the maniac and the depressive moods; it leaves you in the middle.  If none of the treatments work then you are told to do the ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy).  This treatment works by making you have a convulsive attack, which is like restarting your brain.  The depressive side of this illness brings suicidal thoughts and thoughts of killing anyone that is why this illness is considered to be very serious.
