Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior, and the ability to think clearly. Individuals with this disorder may experience periods of intense emotional states that can last for days, weeks, or even longer.
The exact cause of Bipolar Disorder is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Treatment often includes a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
