Bipolar (Manic-Depression)

Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness that affects about 4% of Pakistanis each year. It is characterized by episodes of energetic, manic highs and extreme, sometimes depressive lows.

These can affect a person’s energy level and ability to think reasonably. Mood swings caused by bipolar disorder are much more severe than the small ups and downs most people experience on a daily basis.
