Bipolar and Related disorders:
The bipolar in bipolar disorder refers to the fluctuation between depression and mania sometimes in a very dramatic, severe way. Earlier in the 19th century, mental health professionals used the terms manic depression and affective psychosis to describe bipolar disorder. In the first edition of the DSM (Diagnostic And Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), bipolar disorder was referred to as manic depressive illness and was later renamed bipolar disorder in the DSM-III because of the stigma attached to mania and an attempt to describe and focus on the polarity between the two different symptom patterns of depression and mania.
The diagnosis of bipolar disorder has increased significantly especially among adolescents since the DSM-III. A report by CNN concluded that as many as 4.4% of individuals in the United States may receive some type of diagnosis along the bipolar spectrum in their lifetime. Unfortunately, individuals with bipolar disorder have the highest suicide rate among all of the mental health disorder diagnoses, with the rate of anywhere from 10 to 20 times higher than the general population in the United States.
