Living Between Highs and Lows

Bipolar disorder is more than mood swings—it is a serious mental health condition marked by episodes of extreme highs (mania or hypomania) and deep lows (depression). For women, the condition is often intensified by hormonal changes, caregiving roles, and social expectations.

Globally, nearly 2.8% of adults live with bipolar disorder. Women are more likely to experience rapid cycling, mixed episodes, and co-occurring anxiety or eating disorders.

In India, stigma causes many women to dismiss symptoms as “emotional phases.” At Athena Okas, we help women understand their condition and regain stability with evidence-based care.

Understanding Bipolar Disorder in Women

  • Bipolar I: Severe manic episodes with depression, often requiring hospitalization
  • Bipolar II: Hypomania with longer, deeper depressive episodes (more common in women)
  • Cyclothymic Disorder: Chronic mood fluctuations lasting two years or more

How Bipolar Disorder Differs in Women

  • ✔ Hormonal triggers during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum & menopause
  • ✔ Women are 3x more likely to experience rapid cycling
  • ✔ Higher rates of anxiety, eating disorders & thyroid issues
  • ✔ Greater emotional sensitivity & mixed episodes

The Emotional Weight of Bipolar Disorder

During manic phases, women may feel unstoppable—talking rapidly, sleeping less, and taking impulsive risks. When depression strikes, the same woman may feel hopeless, exhausted, and unable to function.

These cycles affect relationships, careers, motherhood, and identity. Society often dismisses these struggles, increasing shame and isolation.

Bipolar disorder is not a weakness—it is a medical condition, and treatment works.

Real Stories of Hope

After losing my husband, I felt my world collapse. I stopped eating, stopped smiling, and lost interest in everything. At Athena Okas, I was gently guided through grief counseling and treatment for depression.

I was hesitant at first, but the holistic approach really worked for me. The yoga and meditation sessions combined with therapy were life-changing. The doctors understood my hormonal history and adjusted my treatment perfectly.
