Bipolar disorder, also known as bipolar mood disorder, is a mental health condition characterised by extreme mood swings that include periods of mania or hypomania (elevated mood and energy) and periods of depression (low mood and energy). These mood episodes can vary in severity and duration and can significantly impact a person’s ability to function in daily life.
