Bipolar Disorder, what are the signs?
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that
causes episodes of depression (sadness and hopelessness) and episodes of mania
(severely elevated mood). This disorder affects how a person feels and acts. No
one knows exactly what causes bipolar disorder. Doctors and researchers believe
that it may be caused by chemicals imbalances in the brain.
1
People with bipolar disorder will have times when their mood is “normal” and
balanced or close to that. But they will also have times when their mood changes
are extreme for a period of time. These are called bipolar disorder “mood
episodes.”

Types of Bipolar Disorder Episodes
People with bipolar disorder have two different mood extremes: “depression” and
“mania.”
• Depression is a low kind of mood. During an episode of
depression, people feel sad or empty and lose interest in doing things that they
usually enjoyed. It’s also common to be slower in thinking and movements. A
person may have less energy and need more sleep. They also may have difficulty
falling asleep or staying asleep
2
• Mania is a high mood. During a manic high, people feel unusually great.
It’s common to be overly talkative, have lots of energy, and need little sleep
2
An episode of depression or mania can last for days, weeks, months, or sometimes
even years.1 A person with untreated bipolar disorder may have more than 10
total episodes of depression and mania during his or her lifetime.

"Bipolar disorder is a serious medical illness. It is not the kind of
medical condition that a person should try to manage on his or her own."
3
Between episodes, a person may have mild symptoms or no obvious symptoms at all.
1
But even when a person is free of symptoms, he or she still has bipolar
disorder.
