Abstract :
A nonlinear dynamic system model is proposed for the bipolar mood disorder, which is characterized mood swings between manic and depressive states. The nature of the oscillation suggests that the underlying dynamics are nonlinear. The proposed model helps better understand the oscillations and how to quench them.
