Bipolar affective disorder, also known as manic depression, is a serious mental illness. Why it occurs, doctors still do not fully know. Doctors believe that the disease provokes extreme levels of stress, as well as insurmountable problems, life-changing events.
And if so, then the risks of getting a BAD increase in direct proportion to how nervous you are. Now, according to the National Health Service of Great Britain, regarding one in a hundred people live with this disease. And there is a tendency that such people will become more and more.
The main characteristic of BAD is sudden changes in mood and emotional state. A person seems to live at the maximum and at the minimum. He either has a state of mania, that is, a period of increased, even partly feverish activity, or a prolonged depression, when he does not even have the strength to get out of bed. From the outside, it seems that two different personalities live in one person. And at what point which of them will manifest itself, it is difficult to say – the change occurs suddenly, and over time, depressive episodes begin to prevail.
