Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). At Bipolar Psychosocial Support of Kenya (BPSK), we aim to provide a deeper understanding of how this condition affects individuals and families.
What are the Symptoms?
- Manic Episodes: Increased energy, reduced need for sleep, and racing thoughts.
- Depressive Episodes: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities.
