What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental health condition that affects mood, energy, and daily functioning. People with bipolar disorder experience extreme mood shifts, ranging from depressive episodes- feeling low, fatigued, or hopeless, to manic or hypomanic episodes, which may involve elevated energy, impulsive behavior, or irritability.
Understanding your symptoms early is critical. With proper evaluation and ongoing care, bipolar disorder can be managed effectively, allowing patients to live fulfilling lives.
Common Types of Bipolar Disorder:
- Bipolar I: Severe manic episodes that may require hospitalization, often alternating with depressive episodes.
