Basically the patient loses his touch with the surrounding and reality. But what is bipolar disorder? Bipolar disorder is a very common mood disorder that we come across in psychiatry. If atleast 1 % of the population gets affected by schizophrenia about 3 to 8% population can get affected by bipolar affective disorder. So in general as clinical psychiatrists we see more number of cases of bipolar disorder than schizophrenia. What is bipolar affective disorder? Bipolar affective disorder is a common mood disorder, as the name indicates, there are two poles. As the first name indicates, there is mania, where the patient has excessive talking, elated mood, grandiosity, increased capacity to work, reduced need for sleep, occasionally hyperreligious. He also presents with the other end of the spectrum, called as depression, were the patient has sadness, loss of interest, loss of pleasure in previously pleasurable activities and gets withdrawn.
