What is the difference between Bipolar Disorder and Manic Depression?
Every time I search for facts on Manic Depression, I get stuff on Bipolar Disorder instead, so is it the same thing?

I believe mental health professionals no longer use the term manic-depression, now it is officially called bipolar disorder.
Occasionally the DSM changes the names of certain disorders. For example there is no longer such a thing as ADD, now there is only ADHD with or without hyperactivity.
However, once a certain name has been used for so long, the name kinda sticks.
Yes, they are the same thing – manic depression is just the old name for bipolar disorder.
