What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These shifts in mood can vary in intensity and duration, severely impacting an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Bipolar disorder affects millions of people worldwide, but with proper diagnosis and treatment, individuals can manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
At Navicare, we specialize in the treatment of bipolar disorder, helping individuals understand their condition, develop coping strategies, and find effective solutions to maintain emotional stability.
