bipolar impulsiveness
A recent study of course and outcome of bipolar disorder in youth COBY found that children and adolescents with bipolar disorder suffer from the disease differently than adults with the symptoms last longer and more rapidly changing hyper to lethargy and depression.
In this first study COBY important for the psychiatrist conducted a study of more than 400 patients, some for over five years to determine the effects of bipolar disorder in youth and children.
Dr. Martin Keller, a front liner in the design and implementation of long-term studies of major psychiatric disorders, says: "Bipolar disorder severely affects the function and has a high rate of issues related to mental and physical health, such as anxiety and substance abuse ",
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness is characterized by dramatic mood swings, energy levels and behavior. Victims can swing from one extreme mania (which can be accompanied by extreme irritability, sleeplessness, lack of view, the concern and impulsivity.) For the other extreme, depression, this can be marked by hopelessness, tiredness and, in some cases suicidal tendencies. These manic and depression are interspersed with milder symptoms and impaired function in the mainstream of the sick.
The study showed that these symptoms longer-term course for children and young people and in many cases, the mood swings were even more dramatic and changed at intervals shorter than normal adult cases.
Many of the bipolar-developed otherwise specified bipolar or bipolar II. While the researchers assumed that such conversions may transpire, this is the first comprehensive study to clearly document the phenomenon.
