Understanding Bipolar Disorder

OCD is a mental health condition where unwanted thoughts (obsessions) lead to repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions). These patterns can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. With proper treatment, people with OCD can regain control and experience significant improvement.

Common Symptoms

You may be experiencing bipolar disorder if you notice:
Depressive Episodes

  • Low mood or hopelessness

  • Loss of interest or enjoyment

  • Fatigue, low energy

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Changes in sleep or appetite

  • Thoughts of self-harm or worthlessness

Manic or Hypomanic Episodes

  • Feeling unusually energetic or “high”

  • Reduced need for sleep

  • Racing thoughts

  • Speaking rapidly

  • Impulsive or risky decisions

  • Increased irritability or agitation

Not everyone experiences symptoms in the same way—our psychiatrists provide careful evaluation to clarify your diagnosis.
