Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder is a mental disorder characterized by extreme mood swings that range from episodes of extreme high energy and elation (known as mania) to episodes of deep depression. People with this disorder often experience cycles of emotional instability which can significantly interfere with everyday activities and relationships. While the exact cause of bipolar disorder is not known, it is believed to be a combination of biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Treatment options vary, but typically involve a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes to improve functioning and minimize symptoms. Bipolar Disorder can have a profound effect on an individual's quality of life and can cause serious disruption in relationships, work, and other areas of life. The earlier this disorder is identified and treated, the better the outcome.
