About This Course

Prerequisite: NEPS 1

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Episodes of mood swings may occur infrequently or several times a year.

When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When the mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, alertness, judgment, behavior, and the ability to think clearly.

Both manic and hypomanic episode:

* Abnormally optimistic or nervous

* Increased activity, energy or arousal

* An exaggerated sense of well-being and self-confidence (euphoria)

* Reduced need for sleep

* Unusual talkativeness

* Distractibility

* Poor decision-making - for example, in speculation, in sexual intercourse or in irrational investments

Major depressive episode

* Depressed mood, such as feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness, or tearfulness (in children and adolescents, depressed mood may manifest as irritability)

* Pronounced loss of interest or feeling of displeasure in all (or nearly all) activities

* Significant weight loss with no diet, weight gain, or decreased or increased appetite (in children, failure to gain weight as expected may be a sign of depression)

*Either insomnia or sleeping too much

*Either anxiety or slow behavior

* Fatigue or loss of energy

* Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt

* Decreased ability to think or concentrate, or indecision

* Thinking, planning or attempting suicide
