Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is a condition characterised by extreme mood swings of highs and lows, which can last for days or even months. The present diagnostic categorical classification system only partially describes the phenotypes of BD, which is better described with the concept of a Bipolar spectrum. Several studies describe BD as a dimensional continuum from subsyndromal to full-blown syndromal levels of both mania and depression with shifts, not only in mood, but also in behaviours, thinking patterns and energy levels. 

Episodes of depression last longer than manic ones, and can occur before or after highs. During mania, people feel and behave differently from their normal self and experience unstable, euphoric or irritable mood, high energy levels, decreased need to sleep, racing thoughts, erratic behaviours, unusual talkativeness, feelings of invincibility, overspending and poor decision making.
