Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is more than the typical ups and downs of life. It’s a condition that causes significant shifts in mood, energy, and daily functioning. These changes can feel overwhelming—not just for the person experiencing them, but also for their loved ones.
What Bipolar Disorder Can Look Like
Manic or Hypomanic Episodes: feeling unusually energized, talkative, or irritable; needing little sleep; racing thoughts; impulsive decisions.
Depressive Episodes: feeling down, hopeless, fatigued, or disinterested in activities that once brought joy.
Cycles of Change: some people may experience rapid shifts, while others have longer stretches of stability between episodes.
Bipolar disorder often begins in the late teen years or early adulthood, but it can also appear during pregnancy or after childbirth. While the experience looks different for each individual, one thing remains consistent—bipolar disorder is treatable.
