Successfully pursue your life’s goals by managing your condition

Bipolar disorder is not a rare disorder by any means. In the US, about 2.8 % of American adults have been diagnosed with it. But this does not mean that its effects and aftermaths are less devastating.

From difficulty in managing day-to-day tasks, whether at school or work, to feelings of instability and recklessness that lead them to harm themselves and others, managing bipolar disorder is a must to live a life that is on their own terms.

Bipolar disorder shares many symptoms with ADHD, so it is crucial to consult with a medical professional when you spot these symptoms in your child.

Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder in Adults

Bipolar disorder usually manifests itself differently between men and women. Relapse is more common among women, for example. They usually have milder episodes of mania, too, and have more depressive episodes. On the other hand, men experience more severe episodes that are usually manic ones. They are also more likely to have substance abuse issues.
