Bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder involves intense mood swings between manic highs, marked by heightened energy and impulsivity, and depressive lows, marked by sadness and lethargy. It is a lifelong condition, but with consistent treatment most people manage symptoms well and lead full lives.
- Periods of unusually elevated energy, euphoria or irritability
- Impulsivity and reduced need for sleep during highs
- Periods of profound sadness, lethargy and hopelessness
- Disruption to relationships, work and daily functioning
