Detailed explanation-1: -Bipolar disorder is characterised by extreme mood swings. These can range from extreme highs (mania) to extreme lows (depression).
Detailed explanation-2: -Bipolar disorder can cause your mood to swing from an extreme high to an extreme low. Manic symptoms can include increased energy, excitement, impulsive behaviour, and agitation. Depressive symptoms can include lack of energy, feeling worthless, low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you have bipolar disorder, you experience frequent mood swings-from extreme lows to extreme highs. Sometimes you feel both at the same time. You may brush off these changes as “just being moody.” But, in reality, you or someone you know could have a serious mental illness.
Detailed explanation-4: -A mixed episode, sometimes called a mixed state, is when you feel both high and low. You may experience symptoms of depression, plus mania or hypomania at the same time. For example, you may feel very energised and impulsive, while feeling upset or tearful. Or you may feel very agitated or irritable.
