Bipolar Disorder: Navigating Extreme Moods


Listen Later

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by significant, sometimes extreme, shifts in mood, energy, and activity. Imagine periods where your energy is soaring, you feel incredibly elated or irritable, and you might act impulsively or need very little sleep – these are manic or hypomanic episodes. Then, contrast this with periods of deep sadness, fatigue, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities – these are major depressive episodes. These powerful mood states are more than just normal ups and downs; they can dramatically impact a person's thoughts, behavior, relationships, and ability to function. While it's a lifelong condition, understanding bipolar disorder and accessing effective treatment and support can lead to greater stability and a better quality of life.
