Bipolar disorder is a mental condition in which a person has wide or extreme mood swings. In most people with bipolar disorder, there is no clear cause for the periods of extreme happiness and high activity, or depression and low activity.

The following may trigger a manic episode in someone with bipolar disorder:

• Periods of not being able to sleep (insomnia)
• Medicines such as antidepressants or steroids
• Drug or alcohol use
• Childbirth
