Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder. With bipolar a persons mood tends to fluctuate from depressed to manic. For example you can feel sad and depressed, lose interest or lack motivation. Then you mood will shift and you may feel energetic, euphoric sometimes irritable. While there are other signs a person can be depressed or manic these are some of the most recognizable difficulties associated with bipolar. While bipolar is relatively common it takes a trained mental health professional to make an accurate diagnosis which usually involves medication and talk therapy.
