Bipolar Disorder

• Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic
  depression, is a mental health condition that
  causes extreme mood swings that include emotional
  highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).
• When you become depressed, you may feel sad or
  hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most
  activities. When your mood shifts to mania or
  hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel
  euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable.
  These mood swings can affect sleep, energy,
  activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to
  think clearly.
• Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or
  multiple times a year. While most people will
  experience some emotional symptoms between
  episodes, some may not experience any.

• Bipolar disorder appears to result from a
  combination of factors.
• Genetic factors Bipolar disorder is more common
  in those who have a family member with the
  condition. A number of genetic features may be
  involved.
• Biological traits Research suggests that
  imbalances in neurotransmitters or hormones that
  affect the brain may play a role.
• Environmental factors Life events, such as
  abuse, mental stress, a significant loss, or
  another traumatic event, may trigger an initial
  episode in a susceptible person.

Prevention

• If you've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder,
  some strategies can help prevent minor symptoms
  from becoming full-blown episodes of mania or
  depression
• Pay attention to warning signs. Addressing
  symptoms early on can prevent episodes from
  getting worse. You may have identified a pattern
  to your bipolar episodes and what triggers them.
  Call your doctor if you feel you're falling into
  an episode of depression or mania. Involve family
  members or friends in watching for warning signs.
• Avoid drugs and alcohol. Using alcohol or
  recreational drugs can worsen your symptoms and
  make them more likely to come back.
• Take your medications exactly as directed. You
  may be tempted to stop treatment but don't.
  Stopping your medication or reducing your dose on
  your own may cause withdrawal effects or your
  symptoms may worsen or return.

• There's no sure way to prevent bipolar disorder.
  However, getting treatment at the earliest sign
  of a mental health disorder can help prevent
  bipolar disorder or other mental health
  conditions from worsening.

Treatment

• Treatment aims to stabilize the persons mood and
  reduce the severity of symptoms. The goal is to
  help the person function effectively in daily
  life.
• Treatment involves a combination of therapies,
  including
• medication
• counseling
• physical intervention
• lifestyle remedies
• It can take time to get a correct diagnosis and
  find a suitable treatment, as individuals react
  differently, and symptoms vary widely.
