The answer

Bipolar affective disorder is characterized by the patient fluctuating between states of depression (pathological sluggishness) and mania (pathological hyperactivity). It is recommended to follow up the case with a skilled psychiatrist for medicinal treatment using mood stabilizers and antipsychotics, and therapeutic treatment through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions to get rid of negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This disorder is chronic and requires continuous treatment and follow-up to achieve mood stability and the ability to perform basic life functions.
