What is bipolar disorder?
Many people think that bipolar disorder is a fancy name for being overly emotional and having trouble controlling themselves. But it is not. In fact, bipolar disorder is a serious mental disorder that has a significant negative impact on a person’s daily life, health, and behavior.
Could I have bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder does involve mood swings, but it is not just emotionality. These mood swings are extreme - the mood changes from extreme highs of euphoria to lows of depression. These mood swings can occur even within a short period of time. Naturally, this makes it very difficult to communicate with others, study, work, and perform other responsibilities. When a person with bipolar disorder is in a high mood phase, they may feel very happy and energetic, and in a low mood phase, they may feel sad and hopeless. And these phases can change very often.
This is not an uncommon disorder, so theoretically, of course, you have a chance of getting a diagnosis. However, this diagnosis should be made by a qualified professional. As an initial step to checking the severity of your symptoms, we suggest taking this test.
