In layman’s language, it can be said that a “bipolar disorder” has reference to a transit from one extreme adverse behavioral pattern to another opposite extreme errant behavior, i.e., from one pole to another in terms of contradictory and excessive change in thoughts, feelings and actions (bipolar). In fact, psychiatry speaks of bipolar disorders.
