Discuss Bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings between mania and depression.
Mania is a state of elevated or irritable mood, energy, and activity levels, while depression is a state of persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, and decreased energy and activity levels.
Individuals with bipolar disorder may experience both manic and depressive episodes, or they may have episodes of hypomania (a milder form of mania) instead of full-blown mania.
The condition is typically treated with a combination of medication and therapy. It is important to note that bipolar disorder is a serious condition that requires proper diagnosis and treatment, and the individual should see a mental health professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
