Patreon Sample: Changing Manic-Depressive to Bipolar
About this episode
This is a 3 minute sample of this week's Patreon episode, a look into the history of naming Bipolar Disorder.
In 1980 the name of Manic-Depressive Disorder was officially changed to Bipolar Disorder. Why did they do that? Was it good, bad, or just something that happened?
This week's Thistory History dive is a look into the practice of changing diagnostic names, and the clinical social reasons behind that.
