Do bipolar people know they are bipolar?

Self-awareness about bipolar disorder varies. During stable periods many people have good insight. During manic episodes, insight is often significantly reduced — the elevated mood can feel like a positive state rather than a symptom. During depressive episodes, they may recognize they are unwell but lack energy to act. Diagnosis requires professional evaluation.
