Bipolar disorder, often referred to as manic depression, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Individuals with bipolar disorder may experience periods of elevated mood, increased energy, and impulsive behavior during manic episodes, followed by episodes of depression marked by sadness, hopelessness, and fatigue. These mood fluctuations can significantly disrupt daily functioning and impair relationships and work performance.
