About bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder, in the category of disorders related to depression. The person has a phase of lowered mood, which may contain feelings of guilt, worthlessness, difficulty concentrating, fatigue and other symptoms. There is also another phase, euphoric, in which they demonstrate greater self-esteem, greatness, abundant speech, increased energy and reduced need for sleep, among others. There must be these two phases so that bipolar disorder can be configured.
It is necessary to observe the history of these oscillations to make a correct diagnosis. The difficulty in perceiving bipolar disorder is that the patient usually comes to the psychiatrist when they are in the depressive phase. In the other phase, the euphoric, there is a certain feeling of well-being and the patient does not have a very accurate perception of what it is to feel good.
On the other hand, loved ones and friends are able to perceive that there is something that is beyond normal also in the euphoric state, because the person commits inappropriate, exaggerated or unexpected acts. Frequent examples are excessive spending and hypersexuality, since they believe, at that moment, that they are omnipotent and can do anything. It is also common to believe that it is possible to perform multiple tasks such as studying, working out, working, going to parties, all at the same time, without a natural rhythm, being more frantic and with low productivity.
In order to arrive at the correct diagnosis, it is necessary to listen to the family beyond the patients themselves. Bipolar Disorder can be controlled with appropriate medical monitoring.
