The ABCs of Bipolar
Bipolar disorder involves moving between manic, intense highs, and deep lows. In the euphoric stage, sufferers can be agitated and more likely to engage in risky behaviors, including substance abuse. In the depressive stage, they can experience insomnia or increased lethargy, chronic pain, and are at higher risk for suicide or self-harm.

If left untreated, bipolar disorder can result in severe episodes of mania or depression and can be life-threatening.
