Understanding Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by significant mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These fluctuations can affect sleep, energy levels, behavior, judgment, and the ability to think clearly. Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year.
While the exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, it is believed to be a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain structure and chemistry. Recognizing bipolar disorder as a significant health condition that requires professional management is crucial for those affected.

Bipolar disorder presents through a range of symptoms, encompassing emotional, physical, and cognitive aspects, including:
Emotional Symptoms:
- Extreme mood swings from euphoria or irritability (in manic episodes) to sadness and hopelessness (in depressive episodes)
- Sudden shifts in mood and behavior that are not typical for the individual
- Decreased need for sleep during manic episodes, feeling overly energetic
- Increased need for sleep during depressive episodes, feeling excessively tired
Physical Symptoms:
Significant changes in appetite and sleep pattern
Physical agitation or slowing dow
