DEFINING BIPOLAR DISORDER

Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder characterized by episodes of depression and episodes of elevated mood, which may include mania or hypomania. These shifts can vary in intensity, duration, and impact, and may significantly affect energy levels, sleep, judgment, relationships, and daily functioning.

With appropriate treatment and support, many individuals are able to manage symptoms effectively and build meaningful, stable lives.

Common experiences may include:

  • Episodes of depression (low mood, low energy, hopelessness)

  • Episodes of elevated mood (increased energy, reduced need for sleep)

  • Changes in activity level or productivity

  • Impulsivity or risk-taking behaviors during elevated mood

  • Difficulty maintaining consistent routines

  • Sleep disruption

  • Emotional or cognitive changes across mood states
