Bipolar Disorder Treatment
About Bipolar Disorder
What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These shifts can disrupt work, relationships, and daily life. There are several forms, including:
Bipolar I Disorder
Characterized by severe manic episodes lasting at least a week, often requiring hospitalization. Depressive episodes often follow, lasting two weeks or more.
Bipolar II Disorder
Involves hypomanic episodes, which are less severe than full mania, followed by prolonged depressive episodes. Many people with Bipolar II struggle more with depression than with hypomania.
Cyclothymic Disorder
A milder form of bipolar disorder with frequent mood swings, but none severe enough to meet full criteria for mania or major depression.
Common Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
Manic Symptoms
Intense energy, racing thoughts, less need for sleep, impulsivity, risky behavior, and feeling invincible or overly confident all common signs of a manic episode.
Depressive Symptoms
Persistent sadness, low energy, lost interest in activities, trouble concentrating, appetite and sleep changes, or suicidal thoughts all signs of depression that shouldn’t be ignored.
