Answer:

Bipolar I Disorder.

Explanation:

Bipolar I Disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder or manic depression, is a form of mental illness. It is defined by manic episodes that last at least 7 days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care. Usually, depressive episodes occur as well, typically lasting at least 2 weeks. Episodes of depression with mixed features (having depression and manic symptoms at the same time) are also possible. It involves periods of severe mood episodes from mania to depression. Bipolar I disorder involves periods of severe mood episodes from mania to depression. This is where the term "manic depression" comes from. In between episodes of mania and depression, many people with bipolar I disorder can live normal lives. A person affected by bipolar I disorder has had at least one manic episode in his or her life.
