What are bipolar disorder symptoms?
Symptoms of bipolar disorder can fall between two extreme mood states:
1.Bipolar depression , which includes feelings of being sad, hopeless, helpless, and worthless
2.Bipolar mania, which includes feelings of elation and exuberance coupled with increased energy and activity and little need for sleep.
In addition, people with bipolar disorder can have manic episodes that occur simultaneously with depressive symptoms or vice versa. The simultaneous occurrence of depressive symptoms and manic episodes is known as "mixed features."
