Bipolar mood disorder, also known as bipolar affective disorder, is a mental health condition marked by significant mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These fluctuations can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior, and the ability to think clearly. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications and psychotherapy to manage symptoms.
