Causes
There are a number of causes that cause bipolar affective disorder. In the first place here can be attributed heredity. This is because the likelihood of getting sick is higher if other family members have the disease.
Another important reason is autointoxication. In this case, there is a violation of the endocrine balance and water-electrolyte metabolism. Stressful situations can burden depression, but they are not the cause of this disease. Alcohol and drug abuse are also causes of this disorder. Also, the individual characteristics of each person, brain injuries and his diseases occupy a significant place among the causes. nine0007
Symptoms
Symptoms of bipolar affective disorder can appear in a person at any age. They differ from each other in each of the phases of the disease. During the manic phase, five stages are distinguished, namely:
- hypomanic stage. A person has an increased emotional state. During this period, a person is characterized by both physical and psychological vigor. Sleep duration begins to decrease.
- the next stage is the stage of severe mania. Patients constantly joke about something. But in between, there are short flashes of sudden anger.
A person's self-esteem rises sharply, many meaningless ideas arise. The duration of sleep continues to decrease, and in this phase it is approximately 4 hours a day; nine0042 - The maximum expression of symptoms occurs at the stage of manic frenzy. The patient's movements are abrupt. His speech becomes incomprehensible and quite often can consist of phrases or even just words;
- the intensity of the previous symptoms begins to decrease at the next stage - the stage of motor sedation. This is especially true of motor excitation.
In the last, reactive stage, the symptoms of mania return to normal.
In turn, the depressive phase covers 4 stages:
- At the initial stage, the patient complains of poor sleep. The person becomes depressed, the mood decreases. Although by the evening the patient's condition may improve;
- the stage of increasing depression is characterized by the fact that a person's working capacity decreases. The mood worsens and there is a certain anxiety.
The patient begins to speak quietly and slowly. Subsequently, insomnia begins, appetite disappears sharply;
- in the next stage, the symptoms are most aggravated. This stage is called the stage of severe depression. The patient is constantly accompanied by a feeling of incomprehensible anxiety and sadness. Speech becomes very quiet and slow. People can sit or lie down for a long time without changing their posture. Very often, suicidal thoughts and actions begin to appear. The patient is haunted by thoughts about the meaninglessness of being, pushing him to commit suicide; nine0042
- in the reactive stage, all symptoms gradually decrease. The person becomes more active.
There are also two main phases, manic and depressive.
The manic phase covers the following range of symptoms:
- euphoric or aggressively irritable mood;
- reduced need for sleep, as well as its duration;
- constant emotional instability;
The depressive phase includes the following symptoms:
- depression of mood;
- loss of appetite or its complete absence;
- the patient speaks very slowly and quietly;
- feeling much worse in the morning.
By evening, they gradually become normal.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder is that the patient is found to have repeated episodes of abrupt mood changes. The psychotherapist determines which of the periods, manic or depressive, the patient is experiencing at the moment, and in accordance with this prescribes treatment. Also check the level of motor activity. nine0007
Treatment
Currently, with the help of special medications in combination with psychotherapy, it is possible to effectively treat bipolar affective disorder. Psychotherapy is an integral part of the treatment, because it is during it that the doctor, communicating with the patient, can find out the causes of the disease. This will accordingly improve the patient's condition, set him up for positive thoughts and help solve a number of problems. A fairly common phenomenon now is the course of family psychotherapy. Relatives and friends of the patient begin to understand the disease better and help to overcome it faster.
nine0007
In addition to family therapy, there are several methods of psychotherapy that are widely used by doctors for this disease:
- behavioral therapy, in which models are created to combat stress;
- interpersonal therapy that relieves tension;
- cognitive therapy helps reduce mood swings;
- Social Rhythm Therapy allows the patient to normalize his daily routine.
Also widely used in the treatment of drugs such as lithium carbonate and sodium valproate. Manic-depressive psychosis is recommended to be treated with drugs such as lithium salts, finlepsin and valproic acid preparations (depakine and convulex). nine0007

Bipolar disorder or manic-depressive psychosis
The age group at risk for bipolar disorder is 20-30 years old.
There are two groups of causes for the development of bipolar disorder - these are biological (usually hereditary) and psychosocial (for example, a disease that has become a consequence of severe stress).
The biological basis of bipolar disorder lies in the hormonal realm. Thus, imbalance of the hormones of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, thyroid gland and other hormone-producing organs leads to the appearance of periods of excess dopamine and norepinephrine, and periods of their acute deficiency. As for the psychosocial causes of the development of bipolar disorder, they are associated with the weakness of the body's defenses, and excessive mental stress in a certain period of time. A traumatic event can lead to an exacerbation of the manic period, and the weakening of the protective potential of mania leads to depression. Subsequently, in order to protect themselves from an acute sense of their own worthlessness, the hormonal "pendulum" is triggered again, transferring the patient into a state of mania. nine0007
Typically, bipolar disorder is associated with seasonality. So, the euphoric, manic period, which lasts from two weeks to six months, most often occurs in spring or summer.
Depressive period, the duration of which is from four to nine months, and most often aggravated in the autumn period, as well as in winter. The rest of the year falls on remission, that is, the period when the disease does not manifest itself in any way, and the patient feels and looks healthy. In addition, mixed states may occur between episodes of mania and depression, including mild mania or hypomania. nine0007
SYMPTOMS OF BIPOLAR DISORDER.
At the stage of depression, the following symptoms are distinguished:
At the stage of mania, the disease manifests itself as a different set of symptoms:
It should be noted that symptoms tend to progress over time.
TYPES OF BIPOLAR DISORDER.
There are the following types of bipolar disorder - classic and "blurred". In the first case, both phases of the disease are clearly expressed, in the second, the symptom of the manic phase is less pronounced.
TREATMENT OF BIPOLAR DISORDER.
Treatment primarily includes pharmacological therapy. In drug therapy, as a rule, antidepressants are used, sometimes antipsychotics, anticonvulsants and other drugs to eliminate the symptoms of the disease. The main task of therapy for bipolar disorder is to choose the optimal set of drugs for each phase in order to reduce their duration and reduce intensity, and prolong the state of remission. When the patient's condition is stabilized, psychotherapy is added to the treatment, which contributes to the formation of healthy behavior in the patient, effective ways to overcome stress. In addition, family therapy is carried out to teach the patient's family members to recognize the signs of an upcoming episode, manic or depressive, as well as the correct behavior during such an episode.
