Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition involving significant changes in mood, energy, activity levels, and day-to-day functioning. These changes can affect relationships, work, studies, sleep, and overall well-being.
Changes in mood and daily functioning
Bipolar disorder can affect people differently. Some people experience periods of elevated or unusually energized mood, while others experience periods of depression.
Common experiences
- Periods of unusually elevated, energized, or irritable mood
- Reduced need for sleep during periods of increased energy
- Racing thoughts or talking more quickly than usual
- Increased activity, restlessness, or difficulty slowing down
- Periods of low mood, sadness, or loss of interest
- Changes in concentration, motivation, or daily functioning
When to seek support
If significant mood changes are affecting sleep, relationships, work, studies, decision-making, or everyday life, professional assessment can help clarify what is happening and identify appropriate support.
A mental health professional can assess symptoms, consider their pattern over time, and discuss appropriate treatment and ongoing care.
Seek urgent help when needed
If someone is at immediate risk of harming themselves or someone else, experiencing severe confusion, or is otherwise in immediate danger, seek emergency medical assistance or contact local emergency services.
