mood disorder that causes dramatic shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, sleep patterns, and behavior. Unlike ordinary mood changes, these episodes are severe enough to interfere with work, education, relationships, and daily responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>The defining feature is the presence of at least one <strong>manic episode<\/strong>. Many individuals also experience episodes of major depression, although depression is not required for the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Because symptoms often fluctuate over time, early recognition and continuous treatment significantly improve long-term outcomes.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Internal linking suggestion: <strong>Understanding Depression<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span
