Though bipolar disorder has been much touted as a disease, it, in fact, refers to a group of disorders in the mood of a person suffering from it.
This is characterized by cyclical disturbances in behavior and thoughts. The patient or better to say the victim suffers from alternating periods of occasional outbursts of elevated, irritable, expansive moods - sometimes nearing manic episodes and sometimes falls into very depressive moods.
This book provides information, self help methods and natural treatments for bipolar disorders.
