Most of us have ups and down in our moods. But if you have bipolar disorder, your mood can dramatically swing from very high to very low.
These mood swings get in the way of your daily life. But between having extreme moods, you may have weeks or months of being in a normal, steady mood.
Bipolar disorder can make life very hard for you and your friends and family. And unfortunately there isn't any cure. But with the right treatments, most people can control their extreme high moods and low moods. This means that they can get on with living a normal life.
We've brought together the best research about bipolar disorder and weighed up the evidence about how to treat it. You can use our information to talk to your doctor and decide which treatments are best for you.
