Bipolar disorders are marked by huge swings in mood episodes. Bipolar affects a person's mood, thoughts, and behavior.
Bipolar disorder can occur in kids of any age. Parents and caregivers need to be aware of the unique signs in children.

Manic Episodes
Hypomanic Episode
Depressive Episodes
During a manic episode, individuals may engage in reckless behavior—for example, risky sexual behavior, excessive spending, or impulsive decision-making.
An individual experiencing a hypomanic episode may experience similar symptoms to those of a manic episode, but their functioning won't be markedly impaired.
Some people with bipolar-type disorder also experience depressive episodes.
Causes
While the exact cause of bipolar disorder remains unclear, genetics is believed to play a major role. Other contributing factors include abnormalities in a person’s brain circuitry, irregularities in neurotransmitters, and environmental factors such as childhood trauma or abuse.

Medication
Medications used include mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications and antidepressants.
