Mental he alth is very fragile. A little overwork, a failure in the genetic code, or another reason is enough to make a person's psyche shaken. Of course, this does not happen to everyone.
But the trouble with most mental disorders is that they are almost invisible in the early stages. Each of us has experienced mood swings. The feeling of falling in love or bad weather, fatigue, excessive loads several times a day can throw us from a state of euphoria to deep depression. But did you know that these symptoms are the first signs of a disease called bipolar disorder.
What is this?
This is a mental illness, a deviation that manifests itself in a number of affective states, affecting a sharp change in emotions, the appearance of manic states, lethargy or, on the contrary, disinhibition. Affective state - as psychiatrists call short-term, but verypronounced emotional processes during which a person is simply not able to control his own emotions or behavior. A person who has the first signs of bipolar disorder is able to stay in a depressed mood for days or, on the contrary, “jump” from causeless joy to deep sadness several dozen times a day.
Such people may have a sharp increase or decrease in efficiency, become very pronounced primitive instincts.
How can you tell if someone has bipolar disorder?
What is a condition that is already a disease can be determined by the symptoms that appear in most cases.
- Together with constant and unpredictable fluctuations in the emotional background, patients experience a loss of a sense of time. Any state in which the patient is (euphoria, depression, sadness, increased efficiency, etc.) seems to be eternal. This leads to overestimation of one's own strengths, exhaustion.
- Rapid readjustment is another sign of bipolar disorder. What it is? Readaptation is the ability of a person to conform to other people's ideas, the loss of a strategy for one's own behavior, an increased desire to please others. The desire to behave in an unusual way does not fill the inner void and leads to the development of a disease called bipolar disorder. What is this painful, abnormal condition, and not a character trait, saysappearance of characteristic symptoms.
Disease symptoms
Most often:
- Increased excitability and irritability, acceleration of the speech rate, inability to concentrate on one topic.
- Overly aggressive, pushy, angry or provocative mood.
- Inability to appreciate one's true state: physical, financial, mental, sexual, etc.
Because of this, patients who are diagnosed with "bipolar disorder" (which is really a disease, they also cannot understand), become excessively wasteful, unreasonably self-confident, and their libido increases many times over, while while the need for sleep and food decreases.
Some wonder: Are schizophrenia and bipolar disorder synonymous? Schizophrenia is a disease that can completely destroy the perception of the world. It is accompanied by hallucinations, while bipolar disorder does not have such symptoms.
