Bipolar disorder is very manageable with the right care. Once mood swings are understood and treated, most people regain stability, relationships and confidence.
What is bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder causes marked shifts in mood, energy and activity, from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) to deep lows (depression). These episodes are more extreme than everyday ups and downs and can affect sleep, judgement and daily life. It's a medical condition, not a flaw of character, and it responds well to steady, evidence-based treatment.
Common signs
- Periods of unusually high energy, elation or irritability
- Reduced need for sleep, racing thoughts or fast speech
- Impulsive or risky decisions during 'high' phases
- Episodes of deep low mood, fatigue or hopelessness
- Big mood swings that disrupt work, study or relationships
