Bipolar Disorder Highlights

People experiencing extreme mood swings, from deep depressions to phases of mania, are not just unpredictable people. They might be suffering bipolar disorder.

In manic episodes people suffering this disorder tend to be in a euphoric mood, be overactive and restless, with a reduced need of sleep. They often spend large amounts of money, which can result in severe financial problems. In a depressive episode, people feel sad, hopeless, guilty and/or worthless and have a low energy level.

Bipolar disorder is a disorder that puts a heavy burden on family and caregivers.

Do you know that this condition can be diagnosed and treated very well by a doctor?
