Bipolar Disorder
What is
Bipolar Disorder ?
Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, ranging from periods of intense happiness and high energy (mania or hypomania) to episodes of deep sadness and low energy (depression). These changes in mood, energy levels, sleep patterns, and behavior can significantly affect a person’s daily life. In between these episodes, individuals often experience periods of normal mood and function.
Bipolar Disorder typically begins in late adolescence or early adulthood. It is a complex condition influenced by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. The brain’s neurons play a significant role in the regulation of mood and behavior, making Bipolar Disorder a condition deeply connected to brain health.
