📋Overview
The condition involves cyclical episodes of mood elevation, such as mania or hypomania, alternating with periods of clinical depression. These shifts represent a marked departure from an individual's typical state and may affect various aspects of daily life.
Classified as a mood disorder, the condition is characterized by its recurring nature and may manifest in different patterns of symptom severity. Clinical observations indicate that these emotional fluctuations are part of a lifelong condition that persists across different developmental stages.
