Bipolar disorder can present with a range of symptoms. If you are experiencing any of the following, it’s important to seek professional evaluation:
Family History: Having a close family member with bipolar disorder increases your risk of developing the condition. Genetics play a significant role.
Biological Differences: Research suggests that people with bipolar disorder may have noticeable changes in brain structure and function, which could contribute to the development of the disorder.
Environmental Factors: Stressful life events, such as the loss of a loved one or other traumatic experiences, can trigger episodes of mania or depression in individuals predisposed to bipolar disorder.
Substance Abuse: The misuse of drugs or alcohol can exacerbate bipolar disorder symptoms and complicate treatment.
Genetics: While specific genes related to bipolar disorder are still being studied, having a family history of the disorder indicates a genetic component. Bipolar disorder is the most likely psychiatric disorder that can be inherited.
Co-existing Mental Health Conditions: Conditions like depression or anxiety can complicate bipolar disorder, making symptoms more challenging to manage.
Other conditions such as anxiety disorders, impulse control disorders, and ADHD can complicate bipolar disorder, making symptoms more challenging to manage.
Bipolar I Disorder: Involves severe manic episodes lasting at least a week or requiring hospitalization. It also includes depressive episodes lasting at least two weeks. Both episodes can significantly impact daily life.
Bipolar II Disorder: Includes patterns of depressive episodes and less severe manic episodes called hypomania. Unlike Bipolar I Disorder, hypomanic episodes present in Bipolar II Disorder are not as severe or intense but still impact daily life.
Cyclothymic Disorder: Features periods of mild hypomania and mild depression lasting for at least two years. Symptoms are milder than those seen in Bipolar II Disorder but still affect daily life.
Other Specified and Unspecified Bipolar Disorders: Includes symptoms that don’t fit the other types but still involve mood swings or episodes that affect daily functioning.
Bipolar Disorder: This is the current term used to describe a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including manic and depressive episodes. It’s a broad term that covers various types of mood episodes and is more specific in its classification.
Manic Depression: This is an older term that was used to describe what is now known as bipolar disorder. It highlights the two main mood states: mania (or hypomania) and depression. While the term “manic depression” is still sometimes used, “bipolar disorder” is the preferred and more accurate term in modern clinical practice.
