During the “up” periods, do you have increased energy or activity and feel a decreased need for sleep, while during the “down” times you have low energy, hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal thoughts? Do these symptoms of fluctuating mood and energy levels cause you distress or affect your daily functioning? Some people with these symptoms have a lifelong but treatable mental illness called bipolar disorder.  \nWhat is bipolar disorder?  \nBipolar disorder is a mental illness that can be chronic (persistent or constantly reoccurring) or episodic (occurring occasionally and at irregular intervals) . People sometimes refer to bipolar disorder with the older terms “manic-depressive disorder” or “manic depression.”  \nEveryone experiences normal ups and downs, but with bipolar disorder, the range of mood changes can be extreme. People with the disorder have manic episodes, or unusually elevated moods in which the individual might feel very happy, irritable, or “up,” with a marked increase in activity level. They might also have depressive episodes, in which they feel sad, indifferent, or hopeless, combined with a very low activity level. Some people have hypomanic episodes, which are like manic episodes, but not severe enough to cause marked impairment in social or occupational functioning or require hospitalization.  \nMost of the time, bipolar disorder symptoms start during late adolescence or early adulthood. Occasionally, children may experience bipolar disorder symptoms. Although symptoms may come and go, bipolar disorder usually requires lifelong treatment and does not go away on its own. Bipolar disorder can be an important factor in suicide, job loss, ability to function, and family discord. However, proper treatment can lead to better functioning and improved quality of life.  \nWhat are the symptoms of bipolar disorder?  \nSymptoms of bipolar disorder can vary. An individual with the disorder may have manic episodes, depressive episodes, or “mixed” episodes. A mixed episode has both manic and depressive symptoms. These mood episodes cause symptoms that last a week or two, or sometimes longer. During an episode, the symptoms last every day for most of the day. Feelings are intense and happen with changes in behavior, energy levels, or activity levels that are noticeable to others. Inbetween episodes, mood usually returns to a healthy baseline. But in many cases, without adequate treatment, episodes occur more frequently as time goes on.  \n\n| Symptoms of a Manic Episode | Symptoms of a Depressive Episode |\n| --- | --- |\n| Feeling very up, high, elated, extremely irritable, or touchy | Feeling very down or sad,\u003Cbr>or anxious |\n| Feeling jumpy or wired, or being more active than usual | Feeling slowed down or restless |\n| Racing thoughts | Trouble concentrating or making decisions |\n| Decreased need for sleep | Trouble falling asleep, waking up too early, or sleeping too much |\n| Talking fast about a lot of different things (“flight of ideas”) | Talking very slowly, feeling unable to find anything to say, or forgetting a lot |\n| Excessive appetite for food, drinking, sex, or other pleasurable activities | Lack of interest in almost all activities |\n| Feeling able to do many things at once without getting tired | Unable to do even simple things |\n| Feeling unusually important, talented, or powerful | Feeling hopeless or worthless, or thinking about death or suicide |\n\nSome people with bipolar disorder may have milder symptoms than others. For example, hypomanic episodes may make an individual feel very good and productive; they may not feel like anything is wrong. However, family and friends may notice the mood swings and changes in activity levels as unusual behavior, and depressive episodes may follow hypomanic episodes.  \nTypes of Bipolar Disorder  \nPeopl","cbCaie2qcfYeHb38","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie2qcfYeHb38","pdf",412006,"English","# What Is Bipolar Disorder?\n# Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder\n## Symptoms of a Manic Episode\n## Symptoms of a Depressive Episode\n# Types of Bipolar Disorder\n# What Causes Bipolar Disorder?","[{\"question\":\"What defines bipolar disorder compared with normal ups and downs?\",\"answer\":\"Bipolar disorder involves more extreme mood changes that can include manic, depressive, and mixed episodes.
