Bipolar disorder, formerly known as
manic depression, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme shifts
in mood, energy, and activity levels. Individuals with bipolar disorder
experience episodes of mania (or hypomania) and depression, which can vary in
severity and duration.
During
manic episodes, individuals may feel euphoric, overly energetic, or irritable.
They may engage in risky behaviours, have racing thoughts, and require little
sleep. In contrast, depressive episodes involve persistent feelings of sadness,
hopelessness, or emptiness. Loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite
or sleep patterns, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating are common.
Bipolar
disorder can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall
quality of life. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication,
therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to manage symptoms and stabilize mood
fluctuations, enabling individuals to lead fulfilling lives. Early diagnosis
and intervention are crucial for effective management of bipolar disorder.
