What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts can impact sleep, energy levels, behavior, decision-making, and the ability to function in daily life. Bipolar disorder comes in different forms, including Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and Cyclothymic Disorder, each with its own pattern of mood changes.
At AYEBS, we understand that bipolar disorder is not just about mood swings—it’s a complex condition that affects the entire person. Our compassionate team is here to support individuals in finding balance, stability, and renewed control over their lives.
