borderline bipolar difference
What is the difference between bipolar and borderline?
I do not know if they are equal, but that much I mix them.
While both are serious mental illness are very different in how they manifest. People who are bipolar are often helped by a combination of therapy and medication. It is common that people who are bipolar to leave their drugs that can lead to severe period of mania or depression. People suffering from borderline personality disorder often they are not helped much medication as they are of long-term therapy, especially for DBT and CBT. Bipolar disorder causes mood swings-from overly "high" and / or irritable to sad and hopeless, and then back, often with periods of normal mood between them. Severe changes in energy and behavior go along with these changes in the mood. The periods of highs and lows are called episodes of mania and depression. signs and symptoms of mania (or manic episode) include: * Increased energy, activity, and restlessness * Excessively "high", too good, euphoric mood * Extreme irritability * Thoughts and talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another * distraction, can not concentrate well with little sleep needed * Unrealistic beliefs in their abilities and skills * Lack of trial to * Spending sprees * A lasting period of behavior that is different from usual * Increased sexual drive * Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol and sleeping medications * Provocative, intrusive or aggressive behavior * Denial that anything is wrong behavior of borderline personality disorder is a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image and affects, and marked impulsivity beginning of adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following: 1. frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5. 2. a pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation 3. identity disturbance: self markedly and persistently unstable-image or sense of self 4. impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (eg spending, sex, abuse substance, reckless driving, binge eating). Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5. 5. recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures or threats, or self-mutilating behavior 6. affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (eg intense episodic dysphoria, irritability or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and rarely more than a few days) 7. Chronic feelings of emptiness 8. inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (eg frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights) 9. stress transient-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms
