Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable.
These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly. Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, you can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by repetitive, unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and irrational, excessive urges to do certain actions (compulsions). Although people with OCD may know that their thoughts and behavior don't make sense, they are often unable to stop them.
Symptoms typically begin during childhood, the teenage years or young adulthood, although males often develop them at a younger age than females. 1.2% of U.S. adults experience OCD each year.
Substance abuse disorders refer to a range of conditions characterized by the excessive and compulsive use of substances such as alcohol, drugs, or other addictive substances, despite negative consequences. These disorders are characterized by a loss of control over substance use, leading to impairment in various aspects of an individual's life, including physical health, relationships, work or school performance, and overall well-being. Substance abuse disorders can involve substances such as alcohol, opioids, stimulants, sedatives, hallucinogens, or other illicit drugs. They can lead to tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and a persistent desire to use substances, even when it poses significant risks or harm. Effective treatment for substance abuse disorders often involves a comprehensive approach that includes detoxification, therapy, support groups, and medication management, tailored to the individual's needs.
