About Bipolar Disorder in Kolkata
Bipolar Disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs, known as mania or hypomania, and lows, known as depression, each of which can last for days to weeks. During manic episodes, individuals may experience elevated mood, increased energy, and impulsive behavior, while depressive episodes bring profound sadness and loss of energy. The shifts between these mood states can significantly disrupt relationships, work, and daily functioning if not properly managed. Bipolar disorder typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood and requires lifelong management.
