Bipolar Disorder # A-131

Posting Date: 08/20/2004

Bipolar disorder, which used to be called manic depression, can be

extremely disruptive. We all know what it is like to experience ups and

downs once in a while, but with bipolar disorder mood swings may seem

like a roller coaster. Symptoms can be so severe that relationships

suffer, along with school or job performance. 2 million Americans have

bipolar disorder. Research is leading to new treatments for this

problem. Find out about them and call in your questions.
