**disclaimer: i’m in no way a professional i’ve just taken a few psychology classes and like to research** with bipolar basically you have episodes of mood swings. going from depressive episodes to manic episodes. with depressive episodes you get symptoms like hopelessness, anxiety, loss of interest, etc. and with the manic episodes you can experience irritability,risk taking behaviors, euphoria, high sex drive, hyperactivity, impulsivity, restlessness, etc. and some overall symptoms are like unwanted or racing thoughts, lack of concentration, agitation, and depression is also common

other than symptoms because there’s a lot of good answers on this thread, look into you genetics if possible. It can be such a vital perpetrator of the disorder. Definitely ask around on both sides of your family.
