The latest episode of this one interviews Madonna about mania and depression (is she bipolar???)
"Bipolar disorder (previously known as manic depression) is a psychiatric diagnostic category describing a class of mood disorders in which the person experiences clinical depression and/or mania, hypomania, and/or mixed states. The disorder can cause great distress among those afflicted and those living with them. Left untreated, bipolar disorder can be a disabling condition, with a high risk of death through suicide."
"The difference between bipolar disorder and unipolar disorder (also called major depression) is that bipolar disorder involves both elevated and depressive mood states. The duration and intensity of mood states varies widely among people with BiPolar disorder. Fluctuating from one mood state to the next is called "cycling". Mood swings can cause impairment or improved functioning depending on their direction (up or down) and severity (mild to severe). There can be changes in one's energy level, sleep pattern, activity level, social rhythms and cognitive functioning. Some people with Bipolar disorder may have difficulty functioning during these times."

Uh, hate to break it to you, but that's not Madonna. I mean, her name may be Madonna, but I watched the video podcast and she is clearly not the singer named Madonna. I thought she would be a little too big to appear on a bipolar podcast. Needless to say, the woman offers a candid view into how she feels about her bipolar diagnosis.
