Bipolar Disorder (1)

1. Bipolar Disorder Care at Brainpower Wellness Institute What Is Bipolar Disorder? Bipolar Disorder is a serious mood disorder in which a person experiences extreme shifts in mood, energy, and behavior. These shifts include periods of very high energy or elation (mania or hypomania) and periods of depression much more intense than the normal ups and downs everyone has. These mood swings can disrupt daily life, work, relationships, and overall mental health. Fortunately, with proper care and support, individuals with bipolar disorder can lead stable, fulfilling lives. Types of Bipolar Disorder & Who It Affects At Brainpower Wellness Institute, we provide support and care for people experiencing all forms of bipolar disorder. Common variations include: ● Bipolar I Disorder Marked by one or more full manic episodes, often accompanied by major depressive episodes. ● Bipolar II Disorder Marked by episodes of hypomania (a milder form of mania) along with major depressive episodes. ● Cyclothymic or Other Bipolar‑Related Conditions Milder or chronic mood fluctuations that can still significantly impact functioning if untreated. Bipolar disorder can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or background. It often begins in late adolescence or early adulthood, but each person’s journey is unique. Signs & Symptoms: Recognizing Bipolar Disorder People with bipolar disorder may experience a mix of symptoms depending on whether they are in a manic/hypomanic phase or a depressive phase. Some of the common signs include: During Mania/Hypomania (High Mood Periods): ● Elevated or irritable mood, feeling unusually euphoric or “on top of the world.”

2. ● Excess energy or restlessness, decreased need for sleep, rapid thoughts or speech, heightened activity or agitation. ● Impulsive behavior, poor judgment, risky decisions or actions, inflated self-esteem or grand ideas. During Depressive Episodes (Low Mood Periods): ● Persistent sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, withdrawal from social interactions ● Low energy, fatigue, difficulties concentrating or making decisions, changes in sleep or appetite, feelings of worthlessness or guilt. ● ● Negative outlook, lack of motivation, inability to carry out daily tasks which may severely impact work, relationships, and self‑care. Because mood swings in bipolar disorder can be unpredictable and vary in duration (days, weeks, or longer), it’s important to get professional evaluation when you notice such patterns.
