Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is a lifelong mood disorder and mental health condition that causes intense changes in mood, energy levels, thought patterns, and behavior. These shifts can last hours, days, weeks, or months and interrupt your ability to complete daily tasks.

There are a few types of bipolar disorder that are associated with severe mood swings, known as hypomanic/manic and depressive episodes. However, people with bipolar disorder are not always in a hypomanic/manic or depressed state. They also experience periods of normal mood, known as euthymia.
