Let us understand this mental health condition better and find the best help for you.

What is Bipolar Disorder?

The term bipolar means two poles - in short, two opposite moods - manic and depression. So, let us first understand what these two episodes really are so that you can identify if someone needs help.

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

Mania

On this side, the person suffers from an acute sense of optimism, confidence and energy. This episode could usually last up to anywhere between two weeks to four or five months. Now you might think positive thinking is good, but people with bipolar disorder can have such emotions so intense that they will impair judgement and thinking. And, this could lead to making bad decisions, aggressive or even delusional.

Depression

In this episode, the person can get mild forms of depression that can last longer - on an average of about six months. In addition, a person with bipolar disorder can also experience mixed symptoms like quickly jumping from a state of mania to depression and back again.

Who can get bipolar disorder?

According to the statistics, one in 100 people are suffering from bipolar disorder. And, this mental health condition can affect anyone between the age of 18 and 24. However, the conditions can vary from person to person.

Treatment of Bipolar Disorder

Please note that if your bipolar disorder remains untreated, it can lead to severe effects on relationships, your career, and your health.

Therefore, a bipolar disorder therapist can help you understand the nature of your illness and identify as to what actually triggers these episodes. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help change negative thoughts and learn new skills. Also, family therapy is another effective treatment for bipolar disorder that can help communicate the person suffering with his/her family members.
