signs of being bipolar


            Bipolar Disorder has a whole range of symptoms, from minor problems to major problems. Bipolar is a common disorder defined by uncontrollable intense mood swings from manic episodes to depressive episodes. These episodes change severely and sometime together.  
Suffering from Bipolar Disorder can make the simplest things seem complicated. Relationships become unfunctional. Everyday life can become hard to deal with. Adults dealing with Bipolar Disorder may experience feelings of sadness, emptiness, loss of interest, difficult to concentrate, feelings of being overwhelmed, periods of mania, manic episodes, unable to remember things, unable to make simple decisions, hopelessness, worthlessness, change in appetite, change in weight, isolation, emotional episodes and in severe cases thoughts or attempts of suicide. Children express and feel Bipolar Disorder a little differently than adults. Considering their lives have hardly started and they haven’t experienced nor do they understand their feelings yet. Children suffering from Bipolar Disorder may have episodes of abnormality, may cause constant disruption, destructive behavior, troubled, and have signs of pain or suffering. On the opposite side some children express massive creativity, seeks approval on goals and positive achievements. Generally full symptoms are established by late adolescence going into early adult hood for these children.
