What is bipolar disorder?

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings. Bipolar disorder causes you to experience intense emotional highs, known as mania or hypomania, and lows, referred to as depression. These mood episodes can significantly impact your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Bipolar disorder can vary in severity, and the frequency and intensity of mood episodes differ from person to person.

What are the signs of bipolar disorder?

Recognizing the signs of bipolar disorder is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment. Common indicators include:

Extreme mood swings

You may experience sudden and intense shifts in mood, ranging from elevated and euphoric to despondent and hopeless. In the manic phase, you may feel unusually energized, and impulsive, and have a heightened self-esteem. During the depressive phase, you feel sad and fatigued and may lose interest in activities you typically enjoy.


Changes in energy levels

Noticeable fluctuations in energy levels, such as increased activity during manic episodes and low energy or fatigue during depressive episodes.


Disrupted sleep patterns

Whether it's difficulty falling asleep or excessive sleep during depressive episodes, disrupted sleep is often indicative of bipolar disorder.
