According to the DSM-IV and ICD-10, bipolar disorder is divided into at least two subtypes. Bipolar I disorder, the most classic form, is characterized by a succession of manic or mixed states with depressive episodes. The course of bipolar II disorder is similar but more unstable, where depression alternates with hypomania (Burke, 2012, 159-166). Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual changes in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to complete daily tasks, resulting in can impair the individual's ability to function in ordinary life. The symptoms of bipolar disorder are serious. They are different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through from time to time (Bressert, 2006). Symptoms of bipolar disorder can lead to damaged relationships, poor performance at work or school, or even suicide. But bipolar disorder is treatable, and people with this illness can lead full, productive lives.
