Created page on bipolar disorder, which was linked from somewhere yet didn't have an entry.
'''Bipolar disorder''' (also called "manic depression") is a psychiatric condition characterized by extreme mood swings. There are two types of bipolar disorder: Bipolar I and Bipolar II.
==Bipolar II==
Bipolar II is characterized by swings from extreme [[depression]] to hypomania.
Hypomania is a condition characterized by overconfidence, creativity, ability to focus, and viewing of problems in a more positive light. Hypomania can lead to reckless and/or inappropriate behavior.
==Bipolar I==
Bipolar I is characterized by swings from extreme [[depression]] to mania.
Mania is similar to hypomania, but is more extreme and often includes psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and/or paranoia.
