Getting to Know Bipolar Disorder
More than 50 million people around the world struggle with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a disorder caused by imbalances in the brain. It involves dramatic mood swings between manic and depressive episodes:
- The Manic Phase
Manic symptoms include irritable moods, inflated self-esteem, rapid speech, energy spikes, and decreased need for sleep. This phase usually triggers intense risk-taking behaviours, substance abuse, impulsivity, and recklessness. - The Depressive Phase
The other side of the coin is severe depression. In this phase, the individual experiences lack of energy and motivation. Apart from that, they may also have suicidal thoughts and attempts.
The manic and depressive phase are usually separated by periods of normal mood. Also, there are several types of bipolar, and the symptoms vary per case. If you’d like to learn more, our Talking for Therapy advisors will be happy to discuss it with you.
