What is Bipolar Disorder?
The daily struggle of bipolar disorder can be overwhelming.
Bipolar disorder is a mental health disorder that causes intense changes in your mood, energy level, focus and concentration. This disorder acts like a flip of a switch where your entire sense of self changes. These shifts are called manic or depressive episodes, where you struggle to control your inhibitions (mania) or feel like everything is hopeless (depression).
Manic episodes usually consist of high energy behavior, trouble focusing, lack of inhibition or self-control and feelings of intense positivity. But there is also a low that comes in the form of depressive episodes. Many people experience feelings of hopelessness, lack of motivation, despair and a lack of energy. The four different types of bipolar disorder are:
- Bipolar 1 Disorder
- Bipolar 2 Disorder
- Cyclothymic Disorder
- Specified or Unspecified Bipolar Disorder
