Common Symptoms of Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that can cause extreme mood swings, energy, and activity levels. ⚡⚡⚡

🔮 Mania or Hypomania: People with bipolar disorder may experience periods of elevated or irritable mood, increased energy and activity levels, and reduced need for sleep. This is known as a manic episode (if severe) or hypomanic episode (if less severe).

🔮 Depression: People with bipolar disorder can also experience periods of depression, which can cause feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness.

🔮 Rapid Mood Swings: The mood swings associated with bipolar disorder can be very rapid, with people moving quickly from one mood state to another.

🔮 Irritability: In addition to elevated or depressed mood, people with bipolar disorder may also experience intense irritability.

🔮 Racing Thoughts: During manic or hypomanic episodes, individuals may have racing thoughts, feel overly creative or productive, or have an inflated sense of self-esteem.

🔮 Fatigue: Depression and mania can both cause fatigue and exhaustion.

🔮 Suicidal Thoughts: People with bipolar disorder may experience suicidal thoughts, especially during depressive episodes.

🔮 Impulsivity: Manic or hypomanic episodes may lead individuals to engage in impulsive behaviors, such as reckless spending, substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior.

🔮 Concentration Issues: Both depression and mania can cause difficulty with concentration and decision-making.

🔮 Changes in Appetite: During manic or depressive episodes, people with bipolar disorder may experience changes in appetite, leading to weight loss or gain.
