What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mental health condition that’s associated with episodes of mood swings, with both depressive symptoms and manic symptoms. When you are going through a low stage you might have depressive episodes where you feel sad, hopeless, and have little to no interest in activities that are normally fun for you. When your mood changes you may have manic episodes or hypomania, you might feel excited, full of new found energy, or sometimes irritable. These shifts in mood can affect your energy and activity levels, behavior, judgement, and your sleep. Bipolar disorder is usually diagnosed during late adolescence or young adulthood, but it may start earlier in life. Risk factors for bipolar disorder include having a close relative with the disorder, drug abuse, and stressful life situations. Complications of bipolar disorder may include:

Poor performance in school and at work

Trouble within relationships or social withdrawal
Suicidal behavior or thoughts about suicide
Self-medication through alcohol or illicit drugs

How Is Bipolar Disorder Diagnosed?

The diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder is very high. To diagnose bipolar disorder, you will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. You may also need a physical exam and lab tests to rule out other health conditions that could be causing your symptoms. Specific criteria for diagnosis of bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions are laid out in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)

Symptoms of bipolar disorder include the following:

Z

High and Low Moods

Many patients who suffer from bipolar i or bipolar ii will be diagnosed with depression. Depression is a common symptom of bipolar disorder, but it’s not the same as clinical depression. People who suffer from bipolar disorder tend to cycle between feeling really good (high mood) and feeling really bad (low mood).
Z

Depressive episodes

When you have a depressive episode or are in a depressive state, it means that you feel very sad or hopeless and may lose interest in most activities. You also have other symptoms that are usually associated with deep depression, such as problems with sleep, eating, energy level, concentration and self-worth. Depressive episodes are often more disabling than a manic episode.
Z

Risky Behavior

A patient with bipolar disorder may engage in risky behaviors such as spending too much money, having unprotected sex or using drugs and alcohol.
Z

Mania

A manic episode is a time when you feel very happy, energetic and have lots of ideas and racing thoughts. You also may speak quickly and be less able to focus on tasks. Some people with bipolar disorder become irritable during a manic episode.
Z

Suicidal Ideation

Bipolar disorder can cause intense depression or suicidal thoughts. It is important to get seek immediate medical attention if you are having suicidal thoughts or thoughts about harming yourself. The pattern of a person’s symptoms is called their “course.” The course of bipolar disorder can be unpredictable and change over time. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating bipolar disorder, but there are a number of effective treatments available. One treatment option that has become increasingly popular in recent years is online treatment for bipolar disorder.
