Description
Bipolar disorder (also called manic depression) is a serious medical condition that causes extremes in a person’s mood and behavior. Though it affects people of every race, many African Americans with the problem do not receive help. When bipolar disorder goes unchecked, it can disrupt the lives of those who have it and of the people close to them. But, with help, people with bipolar disorder can get better and get on with their lives.
