Having bi-polar disorder causes extreme changes in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out everyday tasks. A person suffering with bipolar disorder experiences two extremes with distinct signs and symptoms:

·         manic episodes (excessive excitement, energy or enthusiasm)

·         depressive episodes

When people with bi-polar disorder experience intense feelings of happiness it is called “mania.”

Having bi-polar disorder can be very tiring and stressful. Medication can help

Having bi-polar disorder tends to give people more empathy towards others. This is because it can make you more sensitive to others and less likely to judge others after what they’ve experienced.
