What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar is a type of mental health condition that can occur on a varied scale. Individuals with bipolar can experience mood swings, from feeling highly elevated and euphoric (known as ‘mania’), which may last for several days, followed by anger, irritability, or depression. Alternatively, an individual can have less pronounced highs but more significant depressive episodes. The last symptom can be when a person fluctuates from high to low relatively quickly. He also needs to develop a skill compromise in relationships psychology Which will help him cope with this problem.
