Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings. Individuals with this disorder experience alternating episodes of mania (high energy and excitability) and depression (low mood and hopelessness).

🕺 Manic Episode (Mania):
During this phase, a person may feel unusually energetic and overly excited. Common signs include:
🔹 Feeling excessively happy or irritable
🔹 Needing little sleep without feeling tired
🔹 Talking excessively
🔹 Making risky decisions (e.g., overspending money)

🤦‍♂️ Depressive Episode (Depression):
During the depressive phase, a person may experience intense sadness and loss of interest. Symptoms include:
🔸 Persistent sadness and hopelessness
🔸 Fatigue and lack of motivation
🔸 Trouble sleeping or sleeping excessively
🔸 Feeling worthless or believing life is no longer enjoyable

⚕️ While bipolar disorder cannot be completely cured, it can be managed effectively through a combination of medications and psychotherapy to control symptoms.

If you suspect you or a loved one may be experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult a mental health professional as early as possible.

At Victoria Hospital, treatment and counseling services for bipolar disorder are now available.
