Bipolar Disorder
Shifts between emotional highs and deep lows that affect energy, sleep and judgement - bipolar disorder can be managed well with expert care.
What is bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder involves significant changes in mood, energy and activity – from elevated, high-energy periods to episodes of low mood and exhaustion.
These shifts are more intense than ordinary ups and downs. With accurate diagnosis and steady, personalised management, most people achieve real stability and lead full lives.
Do these feel familiar?
You do not need to have every sign. If a few of these resonate, it is worth a gentle conversation.
- Periods of unusually high energy
- Reduced need for sleep
- Rapid speech or racing thoughts
- Impulsive or risky decisions
- Episodes of deep low mood
- Fatigue and loss of motivation
- Difficulty maintaining routines
- Strained relationships
