- Bipolar Disorder combines depression with episodes of mania or hypomania with more frequently occurring depression. Unipolar depression refers to those suffering only depression. Individuals may only suffer from recurrent bouts of depression for some time before an initial manic attack which creates confusion in establishing the correct diagnosis.
Subtle differences exist between unipolar depression and bipolar depression. In Bipolar Disorder symptoms of depression generally occur at an earlier age, are of shorter duration and occur more frequently than in unipolar depression. Not uncommonly bipolar depression may be associated with a greater incidence of excessive sleep, emotional lability and weight instability.
Manifestations of depression in bipolar disorder include a low or irritable mood, fatigue, and lack of ability to concentrate. Other symptoms include indecisiveness, loss of energy, change in weight and sleep patterns. Many lose interest or pleasure in previous enjoyable activities.
Genetic inheritance plays a major role in Bipolar Disorder. Onset typically appears during the late teenage years which impacts on normal development and function. Bipolar Disorder increases the risk of suicide, substance abuse and academic, behavioral or interpersonal difficulties.
Factors increasing the risk of suicide include Bipolar 1 Disorder, predominant depression, being a single parent, rapid cycling and experiencing coexisting borderline personality disorder. Women attempt suicide more often, but men actually complete suicide more frequently. A previous attempt remains the most common risk factor. Often a precipitating event such as interpersonal conflict acts as the watershed moment.
Death occurs at a younger age in Bipolar Disorder than in the general population. Suicide accounts for only a fraction this problem.
Treatment remains an issue lacking in uniformity. Improperly treated, Bipolar Disorder may worsen in trajectory. Initial assessment includes determination of whether the individual poses a physical threat to themselves or others in which case hospitalization may be required.
Mania generally is addressed by a mood stabilizer. Popular in this group are lithium, valproate and carbamazepine. An increasing tendency relies on anti-psychotics to treat mania. Often a combination of agents appears necessary. Standard antidepressants remain out of favor for the depression of Bipolar Disorder due to the fear they might precipitate a manic attack. Anti-psychotic therapies are the current preferred drugs for Bipolar Depression but they may be associated with a long list of adverse effects.
In the manic phase of bipolar disorder, it's common to experience feelings of heightened energy, creativity, and euphoria. If you're experiencing a manic episode, you may talk a mile a minute, sleep very little, and be hyperactive. You may also feel like you're all-powerful, invincible, or destined for greatness.
Pro trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Payton Greyson yea, have been using Flixzone for since november myself =)
Jeeoers, that sounds just horrible. Best take a drug to stifle all that energetic creativity and self-confidence, especially if you are female.
I really love your videos. Please keep them coming!
great video doc
"Which is basically a form of voodoo." - final words
Sums up what I gleaned (from at least NorCal) to be the industry standard. Cathartic to hear :P
Any studies on NADH and mental illness? Also Lithium Orotate ( health food store type which is way better absorbed and more natural without side effects ) vs lithium carbonate
Hello, what combination has been successful for you to achieve concentration and clarity in adult patients who have bipolar 2 disorder comorbid with ADD? Thank you very much and greetings
This is a most confusing illness. All the meds cause so many side effects. I have bad reactions to every drug ive tried...usually end up with a panic attack or being totally knocked out and nonfunctional.....or end up with insomnia or severe vomiting with Pristiq
i thought bi-polar was half the time schizophrenic half the time mania highs and mania lows
what about lithium orate 5mg???
and what about cbd??
I would like to know that aswell!!
I take 40mg of Latuda every night and it works well for me. I've gained a little weight and it makes me sleepy, but other than that it really does help my Bipolar Depression. I'm glad that Latuda exists, b/c without it, I don't think I would be stable mentally as I am now.
Do you think people are broken or the world?
First the world creates our mind than our minds create the world. Funny im a Sociologist and bipolar 2. I had a hard time excepting i have simply a chemical imbalance. Still have

I think peaple are not broken we jast simpe switch on an alarm switc. I thinc the human body is perfectli made bay God. The ilnes is jast signe as thet we do something thet is not good for as.
People. We know bipolar was described in detail in Europe during 1800's (if not before). The ancient Greek physicians discussed madness of various forms.
Ready to scream! What med helps to sleep and control anxiety? Frustrated by groggy conditions during day with meds at 10 mg low dose on top of grieving suicide Survivor loss. Suggestions? Stress caused conditions no smoking or drinking.
Cardio and resistance exercise and ground flax/psyllium husk/chia seeds with cinnamon before bed, as well as elimination of processed carbs/sugars from diet, have helped me mitigate interrupted sleep cycles.
It is a sign of the madness of our chimp-like species, that we instantly jump to prescribing drugs instead of searching for the options of a radical lifestyle change. The bipolar 2 diagnosis is ridiculous and it is the new way to pathologize and drug sexual trauma.
In many, many cases i'd agree with you. But some people are simply, to put it roughly, psychos
