Bipolar Disorder Is More Than Mood Swings

Most people think bipolar disorder is just sudden mood swings — happy one moment, sad the next. But it’s far deeper than that. Bipolar disorder affects the brain’s natural rhythm, creating two real and distinct states: mania and depression. One brings overwhelming energy and drive. The other slows everything down, leaving a person feeling exhausted and disconnected. Both are part of the same condition — and both are manageable with the right support. Bipolar disorder isn’t a weakness. It’s a medical condition that deserves understanding, empathy, and care. If this feels familiar, know that help exists — and balance is possible. #MentalHealthAwareness #BipolarDisorder #TherapyMatters #MindHealth #MentalWellbeing #Shorts
