Bipolar Disorder - Nature, Origin, and What Caused It

Abstract

Editorial: The name bipolar disorder says it all – it is uncontrollable swich between good and bad moods. It is considered “mental diseaseâ€, but there is nothing wrong with the mental abilities of these people. Since emotions are involved, it should be called “psychic diseaseâ€. ln the past, the bipolar people were called “possessed by Evil Spirit†because the ancients were considering the good mood as dominating good Spirit and the bad mood as dominating bad (Evil) Spirit. After the First World War they were called schizophrenics, and their disease called schizophrenia. Now the same people are called individuals with bipolar disorder.
