More than 2 million Americans live with bipolar disorder, previously known as "manic depressive disorder." Typically, bipolar disorder onset occurs in late adolescence or the mid-twenties. Life disruptions, hospitalizations, multiple consultations with doctors and ongoing health care challenges are often characteristic of an individual's experience with bipolar disorder.

Bipolar Mental Health Disability Varieties
Part of your claim for treatment, compensation or benefits from appropriate sources will involve discussions and documentation from doctors. Your doctors may determine that your bipolar disorder falls in one of the following categories:
- Bipolar I, with extreme high periods interspersed by moderate depression
- Bipolar II, including severe depression interspersed by a moderate mania
- Cyclothymia, including moderate mania and moderate depression
- Rapid cycling bipolar disorder, with periods of great energy often alternating with periods of depression — perhaps four or more times a year
Stigma and self-blame sometimes keep people with bipolar disorder from seeking appropriate treatment and obtaining compensation and benefits. An attorney with experience in this area is a great ally for the person with bipolar disorder and his or her family.
