What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar means two posts. That implies an excessive amount of high mode and a lot of low mode. This implies that the emotional episodes continue to occur, or at least, once in a while it turns out to be extremely blissful and in some cases it turns out to be exceptionally discouraged, that is to say, it turns into a low state of mind. But this does not mean that the mood changes in the normal routine of people. If you are happy in the morning and your mood is bad at night for some reason, it does not mean that he is suffering from bipolar disorder. His episodes of manic and depressive episodes last for weeks to weeks. Going forward, we will see their symptoms and types, then we will know what actually happens in bipolar disease.

Bipolar I has three episodes. Look at their symptoms and duration to see how long these episodes change.
Manic Episode
A- In these episodes the patient mood is very abnormal persistent. That is, constantly doing the same thing and irritable mode. And then they set an activity, a goal-directed activity, and stick to it. And they have a lot of energy. And they put all their energy towards that goal. There should be a proposal or not. And its duration is one week.
B- The energy that these people have becomes very high. And keep showing activities, keep busy in some work and keep working very energetic and fresh.
The symptoms below should be present for at least the last 3 weeks.
1) Their self-esteem becomes very high. And it becomes so high that the patient starts to show grandiosity.
2) Their sleep becomes very less i.e. they do not sleep because their energy level becomes quite high, therefore their sleep becomes less.
3) They become very talkative, talk a lot and talk with a lot of pressure. They keep talking all the time.
4) Their ideas take flight. That is, they are not on any one task, sometimes on this task, sometimes on that task.
5) Their attention gets diverted very quickly. That means they cannot focus on one thing.
6) Their energy is goal directed and should be task related.
7) Their energy is so high that they cannot even feel pain. like foolish business investment.
C- Those who are doing this activity show, their social life is getting disturbed because of them, the regular people who are there are also feeling it and are tired because of this behavior. Apart from this, they also self-harm. May harm others.
Hypomanic Episode
The symptoms of hypomanic episode are same to same as manic but they differ in duration. Its duration is 4 days.
Depressive
Symptoms of depressive episode are those of depression. Its duration is 2 weeks.
Whereas Bipolar II has 2 episodes
1) Hypomanic
2) Depressive
Causes of Bipolar Disease:
1) This disease can also be genetic. That is, from parent to child, it can happen to anyone in the family, etc.
2) Environmental factors like if there is an accident in a person's life, trauma, injury, etc., then even after that, symptoms of hypomanic or depressive symptoms may appear in a person.
3) In addition to the reduction of sleep.
4) Another clue is that some drugs and medications can trigger manic episodes like selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors it's also worth mentioning that people with bipolar disorder often have other disorders like anxiety disorder substance used disorders ADHD and personality disorder as well making diagnosis and treatment a real challenge.
5) It's thought that there there are genetic and environmental factors that play a part. For example 1 interesting clue is that people with family members who have bipolar disorders are 10 times more likely to have it themselves.
Treatment of Bipolar disease:
1) Taking medicine
Lithium salts:
Lithium acts as a mood stabilizers smoothing out the highs and lows their experience.
That's said it is much better at treating many rather than depressive episodes and so individuals who take it often have to take other medication as well which can be problematic since some anti depression can trigger manic episodes in individuals who are predisposed.
Other treatment options include anti psychotics anticonvulsants and benzodiazepine. But many of these including lithium have side effects that can be severe and lead to non adherence which can be dangerous for an individual person.
2) Socialism Therapy
3 Interpersonal Therapy
4) Cognitive Therapy
5) Reading books
Bipolar disease patients should use such books which play an important role in making his thinking positive.
