Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder characterised by extreme fluctuations in mood, energy, and activity levels. These mood swings range from manic or hypomanic episodes (periods of elevated or irritable moods) to depressive episodes (periods of extreme sadness or hopelessness). Bipolar disorder can affect a person’s ability to function in daily life and, without treatment, can lead to significant disruption in relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
