What are the mood swings in bipolar disorder like?

Mood swings in bipolar disorder are more intense and longer-lasting than ordinary ups and downs. During mania, a person may feel euphoric, energetic, or irritable, while during depression, they may feel sad, hopeless, and fatigued.

These shifts are not quick changes but episodes that can last days to months. Unlike everyday mood changes, bipolar swings significantly disrupt work, school, and relationships. Recognising these patterns is key to getting the right treatment.
