Bipolar disorder symptoms include significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels beyond ordinary day to day ups and downs. These shifts alternate between weeks and months of depressive lows and 4-7 day long episodes of elevated or irritable mood (mania or hypomania). Accurate diagnosis is critical, as bipolar disorder requires distinct clinical management that is very different from treatment of unipolar depression.

Common Signs & Symptoms

• Mania / Hypomania: Abnormally elevated mood, grandiosity, racing thoughts, rapid speech, decreased need for sleep without fatigue, and impulsive or high-risk decision-making.
• Depressive Episodes: Profound lethargy, loss of interest, pervasive sadness, feelings of hopelessness, and withdrawal from daily obligations.
• Mixed States: Simultaneous symptoms of depression and mania, such as high energy coupled with intense despair or agitation.
