What is the meaning of bipolar disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. People may experience episodes of mania (highs) and depression (lows) that are more intense than ordinary mood changes. It is not just "mood swings" but a medical condition that affects daily life, relationships, and work. In Australia, bipolar disorder is recognised under the NDIS as a psychosocial disability, meaning support can be accessed for daily functioning. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to managing symptoms effectively.
