What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood shifts, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These mood episodes can interfere with your daily life, relationships, and job performance.
There are different types of bipolar disorder:
- Bipolar I Disorder – Includes at least one manic episode.
- Bipolar II Disorder – Includes depressive and hypomanic episodes.
- Cyclothymic Disorder – Chronic fluctuating mood disturbances.
