What Are the Causes of Bipolar Affective Disorder?
Bipolar affective disorder, more commonly known as bipolar disorder or manic-depressive disorder, is a mental illness characterized by extreme shifts in mood (from exhilarating highs to debilitating lows), energy and level of activity. Bipolar affective disorder compromises one’s ability to work, to maintain relationships and to even perform the mundane tasks of daily living. There is no lone cause of this destructive illness, but rather it is the result of genetic, biological and environmental factors that come together to form bipolar affective disorder.
