For many people, bipolar disorder can get in the way of healthy lifestyle choices. While the symptoms are not all that different from other emotional disorders, bipolar disorder can impact your ability to make healthy lifestyle decisions, particularly when your mood fluctuations cause you to become overly intense and controlling with your thoughts.
I have bipolar disorder and I know that the symptoms of this disorder are a lot like those of anxiety. But I also know that this disorder is not something that you can control, and that it doesn’t happen from time to time. There is also the fact that you almost never know what goes on in someone’s brain when they have a manic episode.
