According to the theory of evolution of Charles Darwin which is an author of The Origin of Species, human being evolves after long time to be profitable to "prosperity of a kind", and it is thought that there is the adaptive meaning. In other words, man stand on various creatures in number, and it may be said that human being building a high civilized society is the creature which was able to have an element of chosen mind and body in natural selection. However, a disease does not disappear from our daily life and tends to consider us to be "the misfortune" even if we human being is easy to suffer from a disease. "Evolution medicine" (Darwinian medicine) drop hint of meaning/the significance in aging and the process of the pathology. This paper refers to such a conception of bipolar disorder.
