What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These changes are more intense than regular ups and downs and can deeply impact relationships, work, and daily life.

Bipolar I

Full manic episodes alternating with depression

Bipolar I involves extreme highs (mania) and intense lows (depression). These cycles can disrupt work, relationships, and self-care, but targeted treatment can help restore balance.

Bipolar II

Hypomania and depressive episodes

This type includes less severe manic phases (hypomania) but often more frequent and longer depressive episodes. Recognizing this pattern is key to finding the right support.

Cyclothymia

Milder, long-lasting mood swings

Cyclothymia involves ongoing mood changes that aren’t as intense as Bipolar I or II but can still cause distress over time. Early care helps prevent symptoms from worsening.

Rapid Cycling

Four or more episodes in a year

When mood shifts occur frequently within a single year, it’s considered rapid cycling. These shifts can feel exhausting, but specialized strategies can help manage them.

Mixed Episodes

High energy and deep sadness at the same time

A mixed episode combines symptoms of mania and depression, such as agitation, racing thoughts, and despair happening together. It can feel overwhelming but is treatable with the right care.

What Are the Signs of Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder isn’t just about mood swings. It’s a cycle of emotional extremes that can be deeply confusing and exhausting, both for the person experiencing it and for their loved ones.

Episodes of extreme energy or racing thought

Feeling wired, overly ambitious, or unable to sleep for days.

Impulsive behaviors or risky choices

Feeling invincible, overly confident, or euphoric without cause.

Sudden crashes into low mood

Losing interest in life, relationships, or things you once enjoyed.

Changes in sleep patterns

Either sleeping far too much or hardly at all.

Overwhelming guilt or hopelessness

Feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough,” even when things are going well.

Deep emotional numbness or despair

A sense of being stuck in the extremes, with no middle ground.
