Bipolar Disorder

What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes the person to experience unusual and sudden shifts in mood, energy and activity levels. Its symptoms are different from the normal ups and downs that everyone experiences from time to time.

Unfortunately, many bipolar spectrum disorders go unrecognised and undiagnosed, which is why its symptoms – including impulsive behaviour, substance abuse, and shifts in energy levels – can be wrongfully dismissed as problems other than bipolar disorder.
