BIPOLAR DISORDER


Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).

Anger issues


Anger issues refer to difficulties in managing and expressing anger in healthy and appropriate ways.

Addictions can involve substances such as alcohol, drugs, or nicotine, or behaviors such as gambling, gaming, or overeating.
