Bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition characterized by drastic fluctuations in mood and behavior. Bipolar disorder is episodic, and is often divided between periods of intense depression and euphoric mania.

There are several types of bipolar disorder: bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorder. Each type of bipolar disorder is usually linked to the presence, frequency, and intensity of a manic or hypomanic episode, or if the person has not experienced either type of episode at all. The episodes associated with bipolar disorder alter an individual’s thoughts, mood, energy, and overall well-being. These episodes are classified into three main categories: major depressive episodes, manic episodes, and hypomanic episodes.

Typically, the onset of bipolar disorder occurs in early adulthood. While mood swings are sometimes mistaken for symptoms of bipolar disorder, the fluctuating moods associated with this mental illness differ from typical mood swings in both duration and intensity. Furthermore, minor alterations in mood tend to have a limited impact on well-being, while bipolar disorder disrupts daily activities and impairs an individual’s ability to function.
