Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by extreme mood swings, including episodes of mania (highs) and depression (lows). These changes can affect energy, activity, and daily functioning.

What does bipolar disorder feel like?

During mania, you might feel euphoric, energetic, or unusually confident, sometimes leading to impulsive actions. In depressive phases, you may feel sad, hopeless, tired, or lose interest in things you usually enjoy. Mood changes can be intense and disruptive, sometimes accompanied by changes in sleep, appetite, or thoughts of self-harm.
