Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating periods of depression and manic episodes. People with bipolar disorder may experience extreme highs (mania) during which they feel euphoric, have high energy, don't feel the need for sleep or food, and may engage in risk-taking behaviors. These manic episodes are followed by periods of extreme lows (depression) during which the person feels sad, hopeless, and lacks energy.
