    Bipolar disorder

    Bipolar disorder is a chronic, lifelong condition that causes recurrent and dramatic shifts in a person’s mood, energy and ability to think clearly. An estimated 40 million people worldwide live with the disorder, which can disrupt daily functioning and significantly impair relationships, work and overall quality of life. Because these symptoms can be similar to those of other mental health conditions, bipolar disorder is often misdiagnosed or undertreated.
