このコンテンツについて
This booklet from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) provides comprehensive information about bipolar disorder in adults. It covers the disorder's definition, symptoms, long-term effects, contributing factors, diagnosis and treatment, and how to help others with it.
What is bipolar disorder?
Definition: “Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out daily tasks.”
Severity: Symptoms are severe and differ from normal mood swings.
Impact: This can lead to “damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide.”
Treatment: “But bipolar disorder is treatable, and people with the condition can live full and productive lives.”
Age: It usually develops in the late teens or early adulthood, with at least half of cases beginning before age 25.
