Manic-depressive illness (a.k.a., bipolar disorder) is a mental health disorder that causes you to experience unusual shifts in activity levels, mood, the ability to carry out daily tasks, and energy. These symptoms can be severe and are different from the typical ups and downs that each of us occasionally experiences. Fortunately, these symptoms can be treated so you can lead a full, productive life.
There are many signs of bipolar disorder, including:
Bipolar disorder tends to run in families. Typically, it’ll appear while you’re in your late teens or early adulthood. Most people are diagnosed before the age of 25. However, there are some people who have symptoms throughout childhood and others who develop them later in life.
When this disorder first starts, it isn’t easy to spot. This is why some people may suffer for years before being correctly diagnosed and treated. Nevertheless, this is a long-term illness that you must carefully manage throughout your life.
