Bipolar I disorder
Bipolar I Disorder
A mood disorder that includes at least one manic episode and often periods of depression.
Details
Bipolar I disorder is a condition where a person's mood and energy can swing between extreme highs and deep lows. The high state is called mania, and it can involve needing very little sleep, feeling unusually powerful or unstoppable, talking fast, spending impulsively, or taking big risks. These shifts are not just 'moodiness' and can seriously affect daily life, work, relationships, and safety. With the right treatment, routine, and support, many people learn to manage it well.
💡 Real-Life Example
