Bipolar disorder is difficult to diagnose, and it often gets confused with other mental illnesses. Because mania is the hallmark of bipolar disorder, the depressive episodes sometimes get overlooked. The Harvard Health Letter notes that people with bipolar disorder typically spend much more time depressed than manic. In fact, years of depression may go by between manic episode

The manic episodes of the disease can come in a milder form, called hypomania, which can feel pleasant and imbue a person with exuberance, energy, and optimism. But hypomania may have negative consequences if that confidence leads to excess spending or promiscuity.

Although bipolar disorder is well known for its mood swings, the depressive and manic aspects of the disorder sometimes overlap, making people tense, restless, and despondent at the same time, according to the Harvard Health Letter. This manifestation goes by several names, including mixed state, mixed affective state, and dysphoric mania.

Being Bipolar

Bipolar is a term that often refers to something with two opposing poles; the prefix “bi” meaning two while polar refers to the two different ends.

Usually one pole would be negative and the other positive. It is not required that the two poles should conflict with each other, only that they occupy separate extremities.

Bipolar can mean having opposite or contradictory charges, ideas, or elements. It can also refer to two ends opposite each other in physical position.

The most common use of the term bipolar is in reference to the medical condition of manic-depression. A person with bipolar disorder usually experiences extreme mood swings. He or she can feel ecstatic, as if on a high, which abruptly drops into a deep stupor. There are three main categories that describe certain degrees of bipolarity - bipolar I, bipolar II, and Cyclothymia.

In international politics, bipolarity occurs when two countries are in direct conflict with each other. A notable example of bipolarity in politics was the Cold War. It was a hostile stalemate between the United States of America and Russia. Two powerful nations opposing each other.

For electronics, bipolar devices can have two opposing electronic charges, describing how the machine works. It can also be a descriptor of how the device is designed.
