What are the early signs of bipolar disorder?

Early signs can sometimes be mistaken for stress or typical moodiness, but key indicators include:

• Rapid mood changes that are intense and disruptive.
• Periods of extreme energy or very little sleep.
• Sudden changes in behaviour or decision-making.
• Social withdrawal or difficulty functioning at school/work.
• Strong family history of mood disorders.

Recognising early signs is critical for timely intervention, as treatment can reduce long-term impacts.
