What is bipolar disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder characterised by periods of mania and periods of depression. It was earlier known as manic depressive disorder. The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not yet known, but genetic and environmental factors are said to play a part. Some mental trauma in childhood, sexual abuse, stressful events in life, loss of a loved one and broken relationships are some factors that predispose a person to bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder may start at any age, but mostly begins around 25 years.
