Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that can cause extreme mood swings. These mood swings can result in periods of mania
(extreme happiness) and depression (extreme sadness). The signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder can vary from person to
person, but there are some common ones that you should look for if you think you or someone you know may be suffering from
this condition. In this blog post, we will discuss the most common signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder, as well as how
to get help if you think you may be affected.

If you are experiencing any of the following signs and symptoms, it is important to seek professional help as soon as possible:

– drastic changes in mood or behavior

– periods of extremely high energy or activity levels (mania) followed by periods of extreme sadness or fatigue (depression)

– difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much

– difficulty concentrating or making decisions

– engaging in risky or impulsive behavior

– experiencing delusions or hallucinations (in severe cases)

Spring is just around the corner and for many people, that means getting excited about their favorite outdoor sports. But if you have bipolar disorder, there are some sports that you should avoid. Here are a few examples:

• Football – The high-impact nature of football can trigger mania or worsen symptoms of mania.

• Soccer – Like football, soccer is a high-impact sport that can trigger mania or worsen symptoms of mania.

• Basketball – The fast pace of basketball can trigger mania or worsen symptoms of mania.

• Tennis – The rapid back-and-forth motion in tennis can trigger mania or worsen symptoms of mania.

• skiing – The high speeds and heights associated with skiing can trigger mania or worsen symptoms of mania.

If you have bipolar disorder, it’s important to talk to your doctor before participating in any sport. They can help you determine if a particular sport is safe for you to participate in. Remember, you don’t have to let bipolar disorder stop you from being active – just be sure to choose an activity that’s right for you.
