Exploring Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme changes in mood, energy, and activity levels—ranging from high (manic or hypomanic) states to low (depressive) states. These mood swings are more intense than typical mood changes and can severely impact job performance, school activities, and relationships, and disrupt daily living.
This condition arises from a mix of genetic factors, brain structure and chemistry, and environmental influences. Episodes of mania and depression can occur spontaneously or may be triggered by stressors or life changes, even without an obvious cause. Recognizing bipolar disorder as a serious medical condition is crucial—it requires professional treatment similar to any physical illness.

Emotional Symptoms:
- Severe mood swings from euphoria or irritability (manic episodes) to sadness and hopelessness (depressive episodes)
- Rapid, unexpected changes in mood and behavior
- Reduced need for sleep during manic phases, feeling overly energetic
- Increased need for sleep during depressive phases, feeling extremely tired
Physical Symptoms:
