There are several types of bipolar disorder, and the condition can affect each person differently. Some individuals experience symptoms frequently, while others may only have episodes once or twice a year. Understanding your specific pattern is an essential part of effective treatment.
Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
The main symptom associated with bipolar disorder is chronic mood swings. During periods of extreme high, or mania, a person may feel invincible, which can lead to risky behaviors. During episodes of extreme low, or depression, the individual may feel an overwhelming sense of despair or disinterest. Other symptoms often result from the influence of these mood swings and can become aggravated by co-occurring conditions such as substance use or depression.
