Bipolar disorder is a disorder in which your mood becomes extremely high or low, with episodes lasting for days or weeks on end. Having mood swings is quite common, especially in your teenage years, so it does not neccessarily mean you have Bipolar.

It affects 1 in 100 people and tends to begin later in adolescence with symptoms usually starting between the ages of 15 and 19 in young people.

Celebrities like Demi Lovato have spoken publicly about bipolar disorder, and show that even if you’re affected by it, with the right treatment you can get on with life and continue doing the things you enjoy.
