Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by periods of abnormally elevated mood known as mania

These periods can be mild (hypomania) or they can be extreme. The vast majority of those with bipolar disorder also have episodes of major depression.

In addition to depressed mood and markedly diminished interest in activities, people with depression often have a range of physical and emotional symptoms which may include:

  • Fatigue, insomnia, and lethargy
  • Unexplained aches, pains, and psychomotor agitation
  • Hopelessness and loss of self-esteem
  • Irritability and anxiety
  • Indecision and disorganization
