What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder involves shifts between depressive episodes and periods of elevated mood, energy, or irritability known as mania or hypomania. It's a lifelong condition, but with the right treatment and support, it's very manageable — therapy plays a key role alongside medical care in building stability and recognizing early warning signs.
Common Experiences
- Periods of low energy, hopelessness, or loss of interest
- Episodes of elevated mood, racing thoughts, or decreased need for sleep
- Impulsive decisions or risk-taking during high-energy periods
- Irritability or agitation that feels out of proportion
- Difficulty maintaining routines, relationships, or work during mood shifts
- Trouble recognizing early signs of an episode before it escalates
- The exhaustion of unpredictable mood cycles over time
