Bipolar disorder, previously called manic depressive disorder, causes dramatic shifts in mood, energy level and behavior. People with the condition experience intense highs and lows. While signs of manic depressive disorder may vary widely, you can try to identify symptoms by checking for signs of mania, depression, or a combination of both (i.e. mixed episode). However, keep in mind that only a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist can adequately diagnose this condition. If someone you love shows signs, learn how to get them the help they need.

To be properly diagnosed with bipolar disorder, you need to see a psychologist, psychiatrist, or clinically licensed therapist or counselor. Additionally, diagnosis will require the presence of three or more symptoms, including:
- Inflated ego and self-esteem, and delusions of grandeur
- Increased goal-directed activity, or excessive planning of new ideas and ventures without considering the risks
- Racing thoughts or flight of ideas (rapid flow of thoughts or ideas)
- Decreased need for sleep
- Pressured, rapid speech
- Reckless and promiscuous behavior
- Increased distractibility
- There is a higher rate of bipolar diagnosis in developed, high-income countries.
- Various environmental and personal stressors can also trigger onset of bipolar disorder.
- In fact, if you have a younger loved one with chronic sleep disturbance, this could be an early indicator of bipolar. [3]
- In order for these symptoms to meet the criteria for mania, they must occur for at least one week.
- This symptom, known as pressured speech, happens because the person has racing thoughts and excess energy. In a sense, their speech patterns are a sign of what’s going on inside their heads. [4]
- Keep in mind that you are checking for dramatic changes in a person's speech. Some people speak in a fast, pressured manner naturally, so be aware of any noticeable changes.
- They are euphoric and energized. The person may stay up all night brainstorming projects or goals. They may view themselves as especially destined for greatness by God. [5]
- They may engage in risky activities like unprotected sex, drug and alcohol use, gambling, or excessive spending. [6]
- Hallucinations are sensory experiences, such as hearing, feeling or seeing something that no one else does.
- Delusions are persistent yet false beliefs like believing that TV characters are sending you special messages.
- More often than not, someone with psychosis will need to be hospitalized. This will prevent the person from harming themselves or others. The hospital can also provide mood and sleep stabilization and medication for their symptoms.
- Psychosis is not present during hypomanic episodes.
- Hypomania can be a characteristic expressed within all the Bipolar subtypes, but the full manic episodes only occur in Bipolar I.
