What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme and distinct shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These shifts range from intense emotional highs, known as manic or hypomanic episodes, to periods of deep sadness and low energy, called depressive episodes. These changes can affect a person’s ability to carry out day-to-day tasks and maintain stable relationships.
Common Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
-
Manic Episodes: Periods of abnormally elevated mood, increased energy, racing thoughts, and decreased need for sleep.
-
Depressive Episodes: Periods of intense sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest in activities, and fatigue.
-
Changes in Sleep Patterns: Insomnia during manic phases or oversleeping during depressive phases.

Impulsive or high-risk behaviors during manic episodes, such as spending sprees or reckless decisions.

Understanding the Causes of Bipolar Disorder
The exact causes of bipolar disorder are not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of factors. Genetics play a significant role, as the condition often runs in families.
