Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including periods of emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts can be intense and disrupt daily functioning, affecting work, relationships, and other areas of life. Bipolar disorder is more than occasional mood changes; it is a chronic condition that requires careful management and support.

During manic or hypomanic episodes, individuals may experience heightened energy, euphoria, and impulsivity. Depressive episodes can bring sadness, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness. These mood swings may last days, weeks, or longer, often impacting decision-making, relationships, and overall well-being. Risky behaviors during mania, such as reckless spending, dangerous driving, or substance use, can occur. Meanwhile, depressive phases may lead to isolation or difficulty managing everyday tasks.

When bipolar disorder symptoms begin to disrupt daily life, professional support becomes essential. Extreme mood swings that feel uncontrollable can benefit from therapy. Without proper care, these fluctuations may intensify, causing more frequent episodes and negatively affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being. Early intervention can improve symptom management and support a more balanced, stable life.
