Bipolar disorder is a physical disease of the brain affecting the thoughts, feelings, perception, and behavior of the afflicted. The name "bipolar" stems from the nature of the illness.  The moods of a person suffering from bipolar disorder typically range from euphoria to despondence, at times random, or at times triggered by an action or event.
