What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by significant fluctuations in mood, energy, and activity levels, ranging from periods of extreme up (manic or hypomanic) states to very down (depressive) states. Unlike ordinary mood swings, these shifts can affect job performance, school activities, relationships, and severely disrupt daily life.
The condition stems from a combination of genetics, brain structure and chemistry, and environmental factors. Episodes of mania and depression can occur spontaneously or may be triggered by stress or life changes, even without a clear cause. Recognizing bipolar disorder as a genuine medical issue, not a personal failure, is vital for seeking necessary treatment. It’s a significant health condition that warrants professional attention just as any physical illness does.
Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
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
Unexplained aches or pains
Cognitive Symptoms:

Rapid speech and racing thoughts in manic episodes
