People with bipolar disorder experience depressive episodes consisting of sadness, low energy, worthlessness, and suicidal thoughts alternating with manic episodes of euphoria, inflated self-esteem, and high energy levels.
Adult bipolar disorder is characterized by manic (elated mood, inflated self-esteem, rapid speech and accelerated thinking) and depressive mood swings that vary in severity and begin gradually.
Bipolar disorder is a complex mental illness characterized by abnormal swings in mood from manic episodes, marked by euphoria, elation and irritability, to episodes of deep depression interspersed with periods of normal mood.

The Johns Hopkins Family Studies and The Ashkenazi Jewish Population The original Johns Hopkins Family Studies on schizophrenia was expanded to include bipolar disorder due to the overlapping clinical features between the two disorders and the hypothesis that susceptibility to both disorders has been linked to the same chromosomal region.
Research to date is proving out the relationship between bipolar disorders and schizophrenia as far as their genetic mapping is concerned.
The association with more common diseases like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder has led to a better understanding of the function and development of the human brain.
