Manic depression or Bipolar depression is actually considered as one of the worst type of depression that people usually suffer from.
Characterized by sudden and extreme changes in their mood, Manic depression is said to be called as such because manic = mania refers to the ‘ups’ while depression refers to the ‘downs’.
