Bipolar I Disorder is a mental health condition
characterized by episodes of mania or mixed episodes, often accompanied by
periods of depression. Mania involves elevated, expansive, or irritable mood,
along with increased energy, impulsivity, decreased need for sleep, and
grandiosity. These episodes last at least one week and can result in severe
impairment in social or occupational functioning, or require hospitalization to
prevent harm. Depressive episodes in bipolar I disorder involve symptoms such
as sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, changes in appetite or sleep, and thoughts
of death or suicide. Diagnosis is based on the presence of at least one manic
episode, which may be preceded or followed by hypomanic or major depressive
episodes. The exact cause of bipolar I disorder is not fully understood but
likely involves a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental
factors. Treatment typically involves mood stabilizers, antipsychotic
medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and
promote stability. Early intervention is crucial for improving outcomes and
preventing relapses.
