Understanding Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is characterized by significant mood swings, which include:
-
•
Depression: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a disinterest in daily activities.
-
•
Mania: Periods of excessive euphoria, energy, or irritability, often leading to impulsive and risky behaviors.
-
•
Hypomania: A milder form of mania, marked by noticeable but less extreme changes in energy and mood.
Types of Bipolar Disorder
Characterized by at least one episode of full-blown mania, often accompanied by episodes of depression and possibly hypomania.
Defined by patterns of depressive episodes interspersed with hypomanic episodes, without the full manic episodes typical of Bipolar I.
A milder form involving chronic fluctuating moods involving periods of hypomania and mild depression, lasting for at least two years.
