What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar Disorder has been formally known as manic-depression due to swings from a low, depressed mood to a high, frenetic mood. It affects almost 6 million people in the United States alone. The causes are not clearly understood, but both environmental and genetic factors play a role. Environmental contributors to Bipolar Disorder include a history of childhood abuse, other recurring trauma and long-term stress. However, some research has shown that approximately 85% of cases of Bipolar Disorder can be attributed to genetic factors.

Bipolar Disorder’s Signs

People with Bipolar Disorder do not experience the same daily ups and downs as most individuals do as they go through their daily routine. Someone with Bipolar Disorder experience mood swings that are more extreme and are often accompanied by changes in sleep, energy level, eating patterns, spend habits and disruption in judgment. Bipolar symptoms can have a significant, negative impact on personal and professional relationships. People experiencing these symptoms may have severe difficulty performing typical tasks required at home, school or work.

Drastic shifts in moods associated with Bipolar Disorder can be bewildering to the person suffering from them as well as their loved ones and co-workers. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) operationally defines the depressive cycle of Bipolar Disorder as excessive weeping, sadness, an empty state of mind and an unconcerned attitude about daily life. During the manic cycle of Bipolar Disorder, people experience euphoric energy, but corresponding flood of emotions often leads to irritability and agitation.

Certain unhealthy behavior patterns can be associated with aberrant mood episodes. Excessive drinking and drug use often accompany mood swings. Risk taking, spending an unusual amount of money or having reckless sex can often be signs of mania. Students with bipolar disorder have trouble keeping a job or doing well in school. These behavior problems can severely hurt relationships and damage lives.

Treating Bipolar Disorder

Presently, there is no cure for bipolar disorder. However, there are treatment strategies that have demonstrated to give significant relief from symptoms and have helped individuals with Bipolar Disorder to regain control of their lives. Steady, dependable treatment has been shown to have better results than treatment that starts and stops, including:

  • Medication. While there are several types of medication options, people vary in how they respond to certain medications. Individuals need to work with a trained psychiatric professional to determine the best medication treatment option for them.
  • Therapy. Different kinds of psychotherapy, or “talk” therapy, can help people with Bipolar Disorder. Cognitive behavior therapy has been shown to be very helpful in gaining control over symptoms. Support groups are another form of treatment that has had a significant measure of success for many people. In these groups, people with Bipolar and/or their loved ones can empathize with others who have may similar experiences and difficulties. These groups can take place in person or online.
