Bipolar Disorder

You may have heard of the old term 'manic depression' - this is what we now refer to as bipolar disorder.

Bipolar is characterised by a swing between depression (feeling very low) and mania (feeling very high).

​

Symptoms of depression can be seen on our depression page, and symptoms of mania can include;

​

  • Feeling very ambitious

  • Feeling very happy

  • Spending recklessly on things you do not need/want ordinarily, and cannot afford

  • Feeling like you don't need to eat or sleep

  • Irritability

  • Speaking quickly

​

There are also two types of bipolar; I and II. Diagnosis of which type you have will depend on the frequency and duration of your mania and depression.
