What is Bipolar Disorder ?

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These shifts can range from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) to lows (depression) and may disrupt daily life, relationships, and responsibilities.

During manic episodes, you might feel full of energy, euphoric, or act impulsively, while depressive episodes can bring exhaustion, hopelessness, and disconnection. The severity and length of these episodes vary, but with the right support, it’s possible to manage the condition and find balance.

Bipolar disorder is often influenced by genetics, brain chemistry, and life events. Recognizing your triggers and patterns is a key part of learning to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
