Bipolar Disorder
Individuals with bipolar disorder experience periods of intense mania or hypomania, marked by elevated mood, high energy, and impulsivity, alternating with depressive episodes, characterized by sadness, low energy, and hopelessness. There are different types of bipolar disorder, including Bipolar I and Bipolar II. Treatment typically involves mood-stabilizing medications, therapy (like cognitive-behavioral therapy), and lifestyle adjustments to manage symptoms and promote stability. Proper management can help individuals with bipolar disorder lead fulfilling lives.
