With online therapy, bipolar medications, and support from licensed professionals, you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes big mood shifts. People with this disorder experience episodes of mania or hypomania (feeling very “up”) and depression (feeling very “down”). These changes affect your daily routine, school, work, and relationships.

There are different types of bipolar disorder:

  • Bipolar I involves full-blown manic episodes that may last days or weeks.
  • Bipolar II includes hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes but not full mania.
  • Cyclothymic disorder is a milder form with mood changes that aren’t as extreme.

Common Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

The symptoms can look different for everyone. Some people have manic symptoms, while others feel deep depressive symptoms. You might notice:

During Manic or Hypomanic Episodes:

  • Elevated mood, feelings of euphoria, or feeling on top of the world
  • Impulsive behavior or risky behaviors like spending too much money
  • Trouble sleeping or disruptions in sleep patterns
  • Talking fast or racing thoughts
  • Acting with lots of abnormal activity or energy

During Depressive Episodes:

  • Depressed mood, feelings of sadness, or feelings of hopelessness
  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or loss of interest in daily life
  • Sleep changes—either too much or too little
  • Trouble thinking or making decisions
  • Thoughts about death or suicide
