Unipolar Depression is the term for people who just experience feelings of depression. Bipolar Depression is a kind of mood disorder which causes periods of low or depressed mood like those which people with unipolar depression experience, but sufferers also have periods of unusually elevated or irritable mood, which can be either 'mania' or 'hypomania' depending on the severity. It's also known as Manic Depression or Bipolar Disorder.
