What I've learned so far.


Bipolar disorder is a condition when a person changes from a really good mood to a bad mood, like mood swings. This disorder effects women and men in the ages of 15-25. People with bipolar disorder type 1 have at least 1 episode of major depression. People with bipolar disorder type 2 are more hyped up with high energy levels. Then these episodes alternate with depression.

Why did you choose your topic?

I chose Bipolar Disorder because it seems like an interesting thing to research about. You can learn from it and help people who have problems with this disorder. I am also doing this topic because its something different so everyone else had chosen common issues such as depression and suicide. I hope I learn from this and i'll post more later.
