Condition guide
A mood disorder with episodes of depression and periods of elevated energy, mood, or activation.
In simple language
Bipolar disorder involves shifts in mood, energy, sleep, and behavior that go beyond ordinary ups and downs. Some episodes look mostly depressed, while others include racing thoughts, less need for sleep, impulsivity, or unusually high drive.
Sleep disruption, substances, stress, and medication changes can destabilize the condition quickly, so structure and follow-up matter.
