Bipolar Disorder
Description
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts can affect behavior, energy levels, and the ability to function in everyday life. Episodes of mania may involve increased energy, impulsive behavior, or grandiosity, while depressive episodes can bring feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in activities. Treatment typically includes mood stabilizers, psychotherapy, and sometimes antidepressants.
