BIPOLAR DISORDER
INTRODUCTION
Bipolar disorder is a lifelong stipulation that
can impact both how you sense and how you
behave. It is a temper disarray that can drive
immoderate drops in temper—from manic
highs to saddening lows. To be diagnosed with
bipolar disorder you must have felt a high
period (mania or hypomania). Bipolar mania is
explained as an "tremendous high," or feeling
unusually great.
GENERAL BEHAVIORS OF BIPOLAR DISORDER



Depression- Depression is one of the a couple of behaviors an individual endures
from when he or she is bipolar. Though anyone can get bipolar and suffer from
depression, it is more prevailing in women than in men. In many events, persons
who are bipolar are always having temper drops such as being joyful one present
moment then being gloomy or charged the following moment. Individuals who are
sad either eat a lot or don’t eat at all. A few times having the bipolar disorder and
being depressed can direct to substance abuse.
Substance Abuse-Many persons with bipolar disorder abuse drugs or alcohol during
manic sequences as this is a way they believe they can forget about their troubles
and control the disorder. Those who are bipolar and practice drugs or intoxicant are
at bigger risk of undertaking suicide, committing fierce behavior, and being
hospitalised often. They are also likely to experience mixed sequences. Depression
and substance abuse can cause a great deal of physical abuse to other people.
Diminished interest in everyday activities- People not only become low-spirited or
turn to substance maltreat but they as well outstrip themselves from others and they
do not imply themselves in daily actions like working, passing time with their family,
or going on trips.

HOW THE DISORDER INFLUENCES MEMORY
Biological Influences
 “If Bipolar disorder is genetic, identical twins
should have a superior rate of concordance—
the appearance of the trait by both members
of a twin pair—than fraternal twins. Such
studies, on the other hand, do not provide
information about which or how many genes
are involved” (Mental Health, 2009).

Genetic Factors Genetic (plays a role in the
spread of susceptibility)
Each generation is affected alteration (a single
alteration has everything to say about whether
one will get the sickness).
Bipolar Disorder is not transmittable. It cannot
be transmitted from one being to another It is
also recognized as manic-depression is a

PSYCHODYNAMIC THEORY

Accentuate the influence of the nonconscious
brain and childhood undergoes on personality.

The psychodynamic theory carries that the
dynamics of manic-depressive are linked by one
basic track. Practicians of this theory experience
that depression is a reflection of the losings (the
loss of self-esteem and the sense of
worthlessness.) Hence, mania serves as a defense
against the feelings of depression (Mahood, F.
2008).
SOCIAL-COGNITIVE THEORY

This view articulates that each of us holds a
specific personality as we have separate
chronicles of interactions with the surroundings
and how what we think about the world
construes what happens to us.
THERAPY’S FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER

Hospitalization is Generally showed for entire
manic syndromes, as the patient's eudaemonia
is at jeopardy because of diminished opinion.
This includes a jeopardy of dying from
debilitation. Consider ECT in medication
nonresponders and pregnant women.
MEDICATION THERAPY

Antipsychotics (such as haloperidol). Frequently
involved at first for sedation, control of
behavior, or psychotic symptoms.
Benzodiazepines perhaps a effective
subordinate for sedation.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Based on the idea that what we think impacts
our feelings and the way we acquit, and not the
world around us such as people, positions, and
conditions. The benefit of this information is
that we can alter the way we think to act and
feel better even if the situation doesn't alter
 . (Sedlock, 2009)

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Events are identified that are causing or
triggering mood swings.
CONCLUSION
Bipolar Disorder does not separate along age,
speed or ethnicity. One may be in public standing
or sitting next to somebody impacted by this
disarray and not yet know it. Owing to the huge
number of analyses still being acquitted on this
disorder, better treatment therapy will shortly
make a début and help those who haven't got the
correct treatment to fit their wants.
