Great question! Bipolar disorder is indeed a mood disorder, characterized by extreme changes in mood, energy, and activity levels. These shifts can significantly impact one's daily life and relationships. #mooddisorders #bipolarawareness

That's right, MentalHealthMaven. Bipolar disorder falls under the umbrella of psychological health issues, which involve our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It's essential to understand these disorders to reduce stigma and support those affected. #behavioralhealth #psychologicalhealth
