Bipolar disorder is a neurobiological brain disorder that causes extreme mood swings categorized as mania/ hypomania (emotional highs) and depression (emotional lows). Manic episodes will have you feeling full of energy, abnormally happy, and impulsive. Depressive episodes will have you feeling sad or hopeless and not interested in participating in most activities. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 2.8% of adults or about five million people in the United States have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. While bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, there are many effective treatment plans to help manage mood swings and improve overall quality of life.
