Bipolar Disorder Treatment

What causes bipolar disorder?

Bipolar is a commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder known to cause a rollercoaster of emotions, from energetic highs to depressive episodes and mood swings. The disorder is caused by a hormonal imbalance, triggering psychological symptoms.

Bipolar disorder can affect any individual. However, is known to affect mid to late teens greater as hormones develop. Symptoms of bipolar disorder can differ for each individual; some experiencing consistent episodes of mania or depression, where others only face a few controlled attacks, triggered by life events.

People with bipolar disorder find it difficult to maintain a high quality of life, along with managing the usual day to day activities without expert support. Extreme highs can soon turn to manic lows, causing many negative mental health issues.

For most, this disorder can now be managed with greater treatment and support available. However, for those suffering alone, symptoms can drastically affect the quality of life.

There are four potential diagnoses for bipolar disorder, all affecting individuals differently.  There isn’t a one fits all journey to this disorder. If you experience short manic episodes combined with long depressive periods, you could be living with bipolar type 1. If untreated, this can have a great impact on an individual and surrounding family’s life.

If you live through chronic, highly consistent depression, it is likely that you have been diagnosed with bipolar type 2. Less common are rapid cycling and cyclothymia, where longer, more severe symptoms are present. Whichever diagnosis you have received, it is important that you have strategies in place to control your disorder.

Does your mindset change quickly? Are you experiencing a mix of emotions consistently? Are you struggling to sleep or experiencing a loss of appetite? If you are suffering emotional and physical effects, along with depressive symptoms, treatment for bipolar disorder should be a priority.
