Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings between mania and depression. These swings can be severe and can interfere with a person's ability to function in daily life. If you are struggling with bipolar disorder, know that you are not alone and that help is available.

​

Symptoms:

  • Mania: High energy, excessive optimism, minimal need for sleep, increased talkativeness, impulsiveness, and poor judgment.

  • Depression: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities that were once enjoyable.

  • These swings can be severe and can last for days, weeks, or even months.

 

Causes:

  • The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not known, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors.

  • Trauma, such as abuse or loss, can also trigger bipolar disorder.

 

Treatments:

  • The most effective treatment for bipolar disorder is a combination of therapy and medication.

  • Medications such as mood stabilizers and antipsychotics can help to balance the chemicals in your brain that affect mood and reduce symptoms of mania and depression.

  • Therapy can help you identify the underlying causes of your bipolar disorder and teach you coping skills to manage your symptoms.

  • It is important to work with a mental health professional to find the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
