Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness or manic depression) is a mental health disorder marked by extreme mood swings ranging from manic highs to depressive lows. These episodes are far more intense than typical mood changes and can impact one's energy, sleep, thinking, and daily functioning.
Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
Manic Episodes
Periods of extremely “up,” elated, irritable, or energized behavior. This can present as feeling euphoric, having a burst of creativity, speaking rapidly, needing very little sleep, or engaging in impulsive or risky behavior.
Depressive Episodes
Periods of deep sadness and hopelessness. During this time, a person may experience a loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, low energy, feelings of worthlessness, or changes in appetite and sleep patterns.
