Why I choose this topic:
The reason why I chose bipolar disorder is because I always hear people saying "you're bipolar" whenever you go from being happy to sad or mad. Then I found out that it was a real disorder from a TV show I watched. So I decided to take a closer look and learn from it to know exactly what it is, how you can get it, also how to control it, and live a daily life with it.

 Background Information:
Bipolar disorder also known as manic-depressive, is a disorder in your brain that causes unusual mood shifts, changes your energy, activity levels, and also makes it hard for you to have a normal day. The symptoms for this disorder are severe; they’re not like the normal ups and downs that people go through. The symptoms can cause a big result on your life by damaging relationships, problems at work, if you’re in school it can cause problems on your daily learning procedure, or the worst it can cause someone to commit suicide. The good thing is that now you can treat it, and people with it can have a productive live.
