Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder impacts over 2% of the global population, making it one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders. It also carries the highest suicide risk among psychiatric conditions, with approximately 6-7% of individuals with bipolar disorder dying by suicide.

Also known as manic-depressive illness, is characterized by dramatic shifts in mood, energy levels, and activity patterns. Individuals with bipolar disorder may experience episodes of depression, marked by profound sadness and lethargy, as well as episodes of mania or hypomania, characterized by heightened energy, impulsivity, and euphoria. These episodes can be followed by depressive episodes marked by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, and changes in appetite or sleep patterns.

Bipolar disorder manifests in various forms, categorized based on the intensity and symptoms of manic or depressive episodes.

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

  1. Sleep Disturbances: Individuals may experience changes in sleep patterns, such as sleeping too much or too little, during different phases of the disorder.
  2. Fluctuating Energy Levels: Bipolar disorder can lead to fluctuations in energy levels, resulting in periods of excess energy or profound fatigue.
  3. Mood Swings: Individuals may alternate between periods of elation (mania or hypomania) and intense depression, characterized by extreme highs and lows.
  4. Altered Activity Levels: Changes in activity levels, including moving more quickly or slowly than usual, are common symptoms of bipolar disorder.
  5. Cognitive Symptoms: Racing thoughts, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating are cognitive symptoms often experienced by individuals with bipolar disorder.
  6. Changes in Appetite: Disrupted eating habits, such as overeating or undereating, may occur during different phases of bipolar disorder.
  7. Risky Behaviors and Suicidal Thoughts: Individuals with bipolar disorder may engage in risky behaviors or experience thoughts of suicide during depressive episodes.

It's important to note that bipolar disorder affects both men and women, and the symptoms and severity can vary widely among individuals. The cyclical nature of bipolar disorder can disrupt relationships, work, and overall quality of life. While traditional treatments such as medication and therapy are often effective, some individuals may continue to struggle with symptoms, leading to a search for alternative therapies.
