Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
But the terms are used so interchangeably. One can have the condition (bipolar) and not have any problems. Then one would not feel ill, disordered or diseased but they still have the condition.
I don't like the term disease because that term often connotes something that progressively gets worse over time. Not everyone gets worse.
