Understanding The Bipolar Disorder

Understanding Bipolar To Get Help
Most individuals that suffer from bipolar disorder have one goal. That goal is to live a life that is as normal as can be. To get through today without having any emotional problems, to make it through the big meeting at work without having people wonder what is wrong with you and to simply be able to enjoy your daughter's graduation are all additional goals that you may have.
There is no 100 percent sure way of stopping these things from happening to you. But, there are countless things you can learn to do to help you to improve your outlook.
To get to that point, can start by finding all of the information you need about your condition so that you can better understand what is happening to you.
Bipolar Disorder: The Medical Side
Bipolar is a condition in which there are extremes in moods and life experiences. There is no doubt that bipolar is a health condition that is serious and disabling to those that it.
You may have heard bipolar called Manic Depression or that a person suffering from it has a manic depressive condition. But, what scientists have come to learn is that manic style behaviour is only one extreme of this condition.
The other part of it is that of depression. Both of these conditions are vitally serious to your well being and even to your life span and must be treated. While doctors do not have a cause for bipolar, they are working on finding one. Along with that, you can be sure that there are many scientists looking for a way to cure the condition.
For most people bipolar starts when they are just in their teens. Some believe that it is triggered by puberty. Others will not develop this condition until they are in their early adult years.
If you don't get help for bipolar, your condition is likely to continue to worsen. There is no doubt that depression itself is a killer. Therefore, not getting help is simply not an option. But, the good news is that there are medications, treatments and therapies that can help to reduce the symptoms and help you to cope with your condition.
Do You Have Bipolar?
The first question that you need to ask is if you have this condition. Learning the signs and symptoms will help you to weigh the need to seek out medical attention.
If any of your symptoms are severe or you are considering harming yourself, you just seek immediate medical attention as soon as possible.
The highs are called episodes of mania. The lows are episodes of depression. The intensity of these highs and lows will vary from person to person and from one episode to the next. During the manic phase, there are a number of symptoms that can be observed.
You may feel extremely happy and optimistic. You may feel euphoria. You may also have an inflated self esteem or ego, too.
You may have very poor judgment, and you may know this by being told by others that you've made the wrong decision.
Your speech can be very fast. Your mind is going crazy with thoughts. You may be agitated and feel the need to move your body and your mind. Physical activity may be increased, too.
Some have problems with pain, too. If you have pain that there is no real cause for, this can be a sign of depressive behaviour.
The most serious of all symptoms and signs of depressive behaviour is that of thoughts of suicide. If you have these thoughts, your condition needs immediate attention.
If you think that you have any of these symptoms, then you need to work with your doctor to be diagnosed.
What's The Cause?
The one thing that all bipolar patients want to know is why.
Why did this happen to me? Why do I go through this? Why can't my life be normal?
Most believe that it is a combination of factors that lead to this condition including environmental, genetics, and biological factors. Doctors believe that these conditions not only cause the onset of bipolar in people but also control when the episodes that you experience happen and how frequently they do.
In those that have bipolar, those messengers are somehow different and simply communicate in a different way to the brain triggering the symptoms that you face.
It is believed that those that suffer from bipolar have a genetic code that puts them in that position.

This can include such things as drug abuse and very stressful events. Sometimes, a very traumatic event especially those that are psychological can trigger bipolar.
