Comprehending Bipolar Disorder: Cycles of Mood Swings and Their Impact.
Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. Individuals with bipolar disorder experience intense emotional highs, known as manic or hypomanic episodes, and lows, known as depressive episodes. These mood swings can vary in severity and frequency, impacting daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Types of Bipolar Disorder:
- Bipolar I Disorder: Individuals with Bipolar I experience manic episodes lasting at least seven days or severe manic symptoms requiring immediate hospital care.
- Bipolar II Disorder: This type involves a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, which are less severe than full-blown mania. Individuals with Bipolar II do not experience full manic episodes.
- Cyclothymic Disorder (Cyclothymia): Cyclothymia is characterized by numerous periods of hypomanic symptoms as well as periods of depressive symptoms lasting for at least two years (one year in children and adolescents).
