Bipolar I Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs, known as mania, and lows, known as depression. During manic episodes, individuals may feel overly energetic, euphoric, or irritable, and may engage in risky behaviors. These episodes can last for days, weeks, or even longer. In contrast, depressive episodes can lead to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in daily activities. The severity and duration of these mood changes can vary significantly among individuals. Treatment often involves a combination of medication and therapy to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
