What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health disorder that affects a person’s energy levels, mood and their ability to function normally on a daily basis.

People suffering from bipolar disorder go through extreme highs known as manic episodes, and extreme lows, called depressive episodes.

There are several types of bipolar disorder, including bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymic disorder, and other specified and unspecified bipolar disorders. The specific type of bipolar disorder a person has depends on the severity and frequency of their episodes, as well as other factors.

  • Feeling overly euphoric, or unusually happy
  • Experiencing a surge of restlessness, energy, or irritation
  • Needing little to no sleep without feeling tired
  • Speaking rapidly and having racing or scattered thoughts
  • Showing impulsive tendencies or partaking in risky behaviors, like overspending or substance abuse

The signs of a depressive episode are the following:

  • Constantly feeling empty, sad or hopeless
  • Showing no interest in activities or hobbies that they found enjoyable before
  • Having low energy and feeling tired all the time
  • Struggling with focus, clear thinking or making decisions
