<h3>Manic episodes</h3>

<p>Mania is a distinct period of at least one week of elevated or irritable&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mood_(psychology)" title="Mood (psychology)">mood</a>, which can take the form of euphoria, and exhibit three or more of the following behaviors (four if irritable):&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressured_speech" title="Pressured speech">speak in a rapid, uninterruptible manner</a>, are easily distracted, have&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_thoughts" title="Racing thoughts">racing thoughts</a>, display an increase in goal-oriented activities or feel agitated, or exhibit behaviors characterized as impulsive or high-risk such as<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersexuality" title="Hypersexuality">hypersexuality</a>&nbsp;or excessive money spending.<sup id="cite_ref-Barnett2009_7-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Barnett2009-7">[7]</a></sup>&nbsp;To meet the definition for a manic episode, these behaviors must impair the individual's ability to socialize or work.<sup id="cite_ref-Barnett2009_7-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Barnett2009-7">[7]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Beentjes2012_8-4"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Beentjes2012-8">[8]</a></sup>&nbsp;If untreated, a manic episode usually lasts three to six months.<sup id="cite_ref-10"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup>

People with mania may also experience a decreased need for sleep, speak excessively in addition to speaking rapidly, and may have impaired judgment.<sup id="cite_ref-Beentjes2012_8-5"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Beentjes2012-8">[8]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Tarr2011_11-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Tarr2011-11">[11]</a></sup>&nbsp;Manic individuals often have issues with substance abuse due to a combination of thrill-seeking and poor judgment.<sup id="cite_ref-Post2013_12-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Post2013-12">[12]</a></sup>&nbsp;At more extreme levels, a person in a manic state can experience&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosis" title="Psychosis">psychosis</a>, or a break with reality, a state in which thinking is affected along with mood.<sup id="cite_ref-Beentjes2012_8-6"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Beentjes2012-8">[8]</a></sup>&nbsp;They may feel out of control or unstoppable, or as if they have been "chosen" and are on a special mission, or have other grandiose or delusional ideas.<sup id="cite_ref-Knowles2011_13-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Knowles2011-13">[13]</a></sup>&nbsp;Approximately 50% of those with bipolar disorder experience delusions or hallucinations.<sup id="cite_ref-Kerner2014_14-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Kerner2014-14">[14]</a></sup>&nbsp;This may lead to violent behaviors and hospitalization in an inpatient&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatric_hospital" title="Psychiatric hospital">psychiatric hospital</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Beentjes2012_8-7"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Beentjes2012-8">[8]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Tarr2011_11-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Tarr2011-11">[11]</a></sup>&nbsp;The severity of manic symptoms can be measured by rating scales such as the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Mania_Rating_Scale" title="Young Mania Rating Scale">Young Mania Rating Scale</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Tarr2011_11-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Tarr2011-11">[11]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-15">[15]</a></sup>

<h3>Hypomanic episodes</h3>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomania" title="Hypomania">Hypomania</a>&nbsp;is a milder form of mania defined as at least four days of the same criteria as mania,<sup id="cite_ref-Beentjes2012_8-8"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Beentjes2012-8">[8]</a></sup>&nbsp;but does not cause a significant decrease in the individual's ability to socialize or work, lacks psychotic features (i.e.,&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusions" title="Delusions">delusions</a>&nbsp;or hallucinations), and does not require psychiatric hospitalization.<sup id="cite_ref-Barnett2009_7-3"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Barnett2009-7">[7]</a></sup>&nbsp;Overall functioning may actually increase during episodes of hypomania and is thought to serve as a defense mechanism against depression.<sup id="cite_ref-Bowins2013_18-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Bowins2013-18">[18]</a></sup>&nbsp;Hypomanic episodes rarely progress to true manic episodes.<sup id="cite_ref-Bowins2013_18-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Bowins2013-18">[18]</a></sup>&nbsp;Some hypomanic people show increased creativity<sup id="cite_ref-Beentjes2012_8-9"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Beentjes2012-8">[8]</a></sup>&nbsp;while others are irritable or demonstrate poor judgment. Hypomanic people generally have increased energy and increased activity levels.

Hypomania may feel good to the person who experiences it.<sup id="cite_ref-Beentjes2012_8-10"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Beentjes2012-8">[8]</a></sup>&nbsp;Thus, even when family and friends recognize mood swings, the individual will often deny that anything is wrong.<sup id="cite_ref-19"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-19">[19]</a></sup>&nbsp;What might be called a "hypomanic event", if not accompanied by depressive episodes, is often not deemed as problematic, unless the mood changes are uncontrollable, volatile or mercurial.<sup id="cite_ref-Bowins2013_18-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Bowins2013-18">[18]</a></sup>&nbsp;Most commonly, symptoms continue for a few weeks to a few months.<sup id="cite_ref-20"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-20">[20]</a></sup></p>

According to the "kindling" hypothesis, when people who are genetically predisposed toward bipolar disorder experience stressful events, the stress threshold at which mood changes occur becomes progressively lower, until the episodes eventually start (and recur) spontaneously.

<h3>Neurological</h3>

<h3>Neuroendocrinological</h3>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine" title="Dopamine">Dopamine</a>, a known neurotransmitter responsible for mood cycling, has been shown to have increased transmission during the manic phase.<sup id="cite_ref-Salvadore2010_9-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Salvadore2010-9">[9]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-52"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-52">[52]</a></sup>&nbsp;The dopamine hypothesis states that the increase in dopamine results in secondary homeostatic down regulation of key systems and receptors such as an increase in dopamine mediated&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein-coupled_receptors" title="G protein-coupled receptors">G protein-coupled receptors</a>.

Two additional neurotransmitters,&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-Aminobutyric_acid" title="Gamma-Aminobutyric acid">gamma-Aminobutyric acid</a>&nbsp;(GABA) and&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate" title="Glutamate">glutamate</a>, have been found to cause elevated mood states.<sup>[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a></i>]</sup>&nbsp;Glutamate is significantly increased within the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during the manic phase of bipolar disorder, and returns to normal levels once the phase is over.<sup id="cite_ref-54"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-54">[54]</a></sup>&nbsp;GABA is found in higher concentrations in people with bipolar disorder, overall leading to a decrease in&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_B_receptor" title="GABA B receptor">GABA B receptors</a>.<sup>[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a></i>]</sup>&nbsp;The increase in GABA is possibly caused by a disturbance in early development causing a disturbance of cell migration and the formation of normal lamination, the layering of brain structures commonly associated with the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_cortex" title="Cerebral cortex">cerebral cortex</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-55"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-55">[55]</a></sup></p>

<h3>Evolutionary</h3>

<p>Because bipolar disorder affects an individual’s ability to function in society and has a high morbidity rate,&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_theory" title="Evolutionary theory">evolutionary theory</a>&nbsp;would suggest that the genes responsible would have been naturally selected against, effectively culling the disorder. Yet there continue to be high rates of bipolar disorder in many populations, suggesting the genes responsible may have an evolutionary benefit.

Proponents of&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_medicine" title="Evolutionary medicine">evolutionary medicine</a>&nbsp;hypothesize that the genes that cause severe bipolar disorder when inherited in large doses may increase fitness when inherited in small doses.<sup id="cite_ref-56"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-56">[56]</a></sup>&nbsp;High rates of bipolar disorder throughout history suggest that the ability to switch between depressive and manic moods conveyed some evolutionary advantage on ancestral humans. Theories put forward to explain the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_approaches_to_depression" title="Evolutionary approaches to depression">evolutionary advantages of major depressive disorder</a>&nbsp;may also explain the adaptiveness of the depressive episodes of bipolar disorder. For example, in individuals under increased stress, depressive mood may serve as a defensive strategy that causes the individual to retreat from the external stressor, increase sleep, and preserve resources and energy for better times.<sup id="cite_ref-57"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-57">[57]</a></sup>&nbsp;Additionally, manic moods may convey advantage in some situations. Creativity, confidence, and high energy have all been linked to mania and hypomania.<sup id="cite_ref-58"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-58">[58]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-url_Hypomanias_up_side_59-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-url_Hypomanias_up_side-59">[59]</a></sup>&nbsp;The ability to utilize mild manic symptoms to be more productive and think more creatively during stress-free times may have increased the fitness of ancestral humans. Being able to employ both hypomania and mild depression convey advantages that benefit individuals in a variable environment. However, if the genes enabling the manipulation of both of these moods are over activated, the manic and/or severe depressive moods of full bipolar disorder may be triggered instead.

Evolutionary biologists have hypothesized that bipolar disorder could have come from an adaptation to extreme climates in the northern&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperate_zone" title="Temperate zone">temperate zone</a>&nbsp;during the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene" title="Pleistocene">Pleistocene</a>. The Evolutionary Origin of Bipolar Disorder (EOBD) hypothesis states that during the short summers of extreme climates, hypomania would be adaptive, allowing the completion of many tasks necessary for survival within a short period of time.

It has been noted that the bipolar disorder diagnosis is officially characterized in historical terms such that, technically, anyone with a history of (hypo)mania and depression has bipolar disorder whatever their current or future functioning and vulnerability. This has been described as "an ethical and methodological issue", as it means no one can be considered as being recovered (only "in&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remission_(medicine)" title="Remission (medicine)">remission</a>") from bipolar disorder according to the official criteria.

<h2>Prognosis</h2>

<p>For many individuals with bipolar disorder a good&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prognosis" title="Prognosis">prognosis</a>&nbsp;results from good treatment, which, in turn, results from an accurate&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_diagnosis" title="Medical diagnosis">diagnosis</a>.

Bipolar disorder can be a severely disabling medical condition. However, many individuals with bipolar disorder can live full and satisfying lives. Quite often, medication is needed to enable this. Persons with bipolar disorder may have periods of normal or near normal functioning between episodes.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBergen1999_106-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBergen1999-106">[106]</a></sup></p>

<h3>Functioning</h3>

<p>Functioning in bipolar I and II varies over time along a spectrum from good to fair to poor. During periods of&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_depression" title="Major depression">major depression</a>&nbsp;or mania (in BPI), functioning was on average poor, with depression being more persistently associated with disability than mania. Functioning between episodes was on average good&nbsp;— more or less normal. Subthreshold symptoms were generally still substantially impairing, however, except for hypomania (below or above threshold) which was associated with improved functioning.<sup id="cite_ref-107"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-107">[107]</a></sup></p>

<h3>Recovery and recurrence</h3>

<p>A naturalistic study from first admission for mania or mixed episode (representing the hospitalized and therefore most severe cases) found that 50% achieved syndromal recovery (no longer meeting criteria for the diagnosis) within six weeks and 98% within two years. Within two years, 72% achieved symptomatic recovery (no symptoms at all) and 43% achieved functional recovery (regaining of prior occupational and residential status). However, 40% went on to experience a new episode of mania or depression within 2 years of syndromal recovery, and 19% switched phases without recovery.<sup id="cite_ref-108"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-108">[108]</a></sup>

<h3>Suicide</h3>

<p>Bipolar disorder can cause suicidal ideation that leads to&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicidal" title="Suicidal">suicidal</a>&nbsp;attempts. Individuals whose bipolar disorder begins with a depressive or mixed affective episode seem to have a poorer prognosis and an increased risk of suicide.<sup id="cite_ref-Baldessarini2013_82-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Baldessarini2013-82">[82]</a></sup>&nbsp;One out of two people with bipolar disorder attempt suicide at least once during their lifetime and many attempts are successfully completed.<sup id="cite_ref-Kerner2014_14-5"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Kerner2014-14">[14]</a></sup>&nbsp;The annual average suicide rate is 0.4%, which is 10–20 times that of the general population.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESadockKaplanSadock2007388_111-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-FOOTNOTESadockKaplanSadock2007388-111">[111]</a></sup>&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_mortality_ratio" title="Standardized mortality ratio">standardized mortality ratio</a>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide">suicide</a>&nbsp;in bipolar disorder is between 18 and 25.<sup id="cite_ref-MortBio_2006_112-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-MortBio_2006-112">[112]</a></sup>&nbsp;The lifetime risk of suicide has been estimated to be as high as 20% in those with bipolar disorder.<sup id="cite_ref-Barnett2009_7-9"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Barnett2009-7">[7]</a></sup></p>

<p>Bipolar disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability worldwide and has a lifetime prevalence of about 3% in the general population.<sup id="cite_ref-Schmitt2014_4-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Schmitt2014-4">[4]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Boland2013_113-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Boland2013-113">[113]</a></sup>&nbsp;However, a reanalysis of data from the National Epidemiological Catchment Area survey in the United States suggested that 0.8% of the population experience a&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_episode" title="Manic episode">manic episode</a>&nbsp;at least once (the diagnostic threshold for&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_I" title="Bipolar I">bipolar I</a>) and a further 0.5% have a&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomanic" title="Hypomanic">hypomanic</a>&nbsp;episode (the diagnostic threshold for bipolar II or cyclothymia). Including sub-threshold diagnostic criteria, such as one or two symptoms over a short time-period, an additional 5.1% of the population, adding up to a total of 6.4%, were classified as having a bipolar spectrum disorder.<sup id="cite_ref-Judd_and_Akiskal_2003_114-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Judd_and_Akiskal_2003-114">[114]</a></sup>&nbsp;A more recent analysis of data from a second US&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Comorbidity_Survey" title="National Comorbidity Survey">National Comorbidity Survey</a>&nbsp;found that 1% met lifetime prevalence criteria for bipolar I, 1.1% for bipolar II, and 2.4% for subthreshold symptoms.<sup id="cite_ref-115"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-115">[115]</a></sup>

There are conceptual and methodological limitations and variations in the findings. Prevalence studies of bipolar disorder are typically carried out by lay interviewers who follow fully structured/fixed interview schemes; responses to single items from such interviews may suffer limited validity. In addition, diagnoses (and therefore estimates of prevalence) vary depending on whether a categorical or&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_approach" title="Spectrum approach">spectrum approach</a>&nbsp;is used. This consideration has led to concerns about the potential for both underdiagnosis and overdiagnosis.<sup id="cite_ref-116"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-116">[116]</a></sup>

The incidence of bipolar disorder is similar in men and women<sup id="cite_ref-Farren2012_117-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Farren2012-117">[117]</a></sup>&nbsp;as well as across different cultures and ethnic groups. A 2000 study by the&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organization" title="World Health Organization">World Health Organization</a>&nbsp;found that prevalence and incidence of bipolar disorder are very similar across the world. Age-standardized prevalence per 100,000 ranged from 421.0 in South Asia to 481.7 in Africa and Europe for men and from 450.3 in Africa and Europe to 491.6 in Oceania for women. However, severity may differ widely across the globe. Disability-adjusted life year rates, for example, appear to be higher in developing countries, where medical coverage may be poorer and medication less available.<sup id="cite_ref-118"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-118">[118]</a></sup>&nbsp;Within the United States,&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_American" title="Asian American">Asian Americans</a>&nbsp;have significantly lower rates than their&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American" title="African American">African</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_American" title="European American">European American</a>&nbsp;counterparts.<sup id="cite_ref-kurasaki_119-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-kurasaki-119">[119]</a></sup>

<h3>Elderly</h3>

<p>There is a relative lack of knowledge about bipolar disorder in late life. There is evidence that it becomes less prevalent with age but nevertheless accounts for a similar percentage of psychiatric admissions; that older bipolar patients had first experienced symptoms at a later age; that later onset of mania is associated with more neurologic impairment; that substance abuse is considerably less common in older groups; and that there is probably a greater degree of variation in presentation and course, for instance individuals may develop new-onset mania associated with vascular changes, or become manic only after recurrent depressive episodes, or may have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder at an early age and still meet criteria. There is also some weak and not conclusive evidence that mania is less intense and there is a higher prevalence of mixed episodes, although there may be a reduced response to treatment. Overall, there are likely more similarities than differences from younger adults.<sup id="cite_ref-Vasudev2010_151-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-Vasudev2010-151">[151]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-pmid15383127_152-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-pmid15383127-152">[152]</a></sup>&nbsp;In the elderly, recognition and treatment of bipolar disorder may be complicated by the presence of&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dementia" title="Dementia">dementia</a>&nbsp;or the side effects of medications being taken for other conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-153"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#cite_note-153">[153]</a></sup></p>
