Bipolar I Disorder

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Bipolar I disorder is defined by at least one manic episode, typically alongside depressive episodes.

Show

A week of markedly elevated mood, reduced need for sleep, and consequential impulsive decisions.

Watch for

Mania is not high spirits. The diagnosis requires marked impairment or hospitalization during the episode.
