Bipolar Disorder
A mood disorder involving manic episodes – intense and very disruptive experiences of heightened
mood, possibly alternating with depressive episodes.

• At least half of all cases begin
before a person reaches the age
of 25
Manic Episode
Criteria for a manic episode are a distinct period of abnormally and persistently
elevated, expansive, or irritable mood and abnormally and persistently increased
activity or energy, lasting at least 1 week and present most of the day, nearly
every day (or any duration if hospitalization is necessary.

psychomotor agitation

• Excessive involvement in activities that
have a high potential for painful
consequences (shopping sprees, sexual
indiscretions, etc.)
Major Depressive Episode
A period in which the individual experiences intense psychological and physical
symptoms accompanying feelings of overwhelming sadness.
Categories of bipolar disorder
Bipolar I
• One or more manic episodes with the
possibility, although not the necessity,
