most common bipolar disorder medications
Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder that can lead to self-mutilation or self-harm. The very idea is alarming, but the reality is even more since this disease can lead to suicide.
Since bipolar disorder affects the normal functions of the brain, the patient can perform uncontrollable events, which are often considered unhealthy or even fatal. This is due to episodes of mania and depression that can lead the patient to a strong reaction in the simplest of things.
The sorrow that is caused by the disappointment can lead to self-mutilation. A patient who feels guilty about something that may cause him or her feel guilty. This often leads to self-punishment that usually comes in the form of self-injury.
Here are some of the most common types of self-injury associated with disorder bipolar:
Cutting the patient's own skin
This often happens in an episode of major depression, and there are many reasons why the patient does this. One is the feeling of guilt for an event that happened recently or years ago. A breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, perhaps, or, if the voltage is so severe then the only recourse the person is diverted to the physical pain. Another reason could be for pure pleasure. The episode of mania makes the patient has excessive energy and forcing it through self-injury is a way of showing it.
Meanwhile, the court can also be recognized as an order help. Since a patient with bipolar disorder is often neglected and left unnoticed, he or she creates a place where people can tell him or her, this time through self-injury.
Inappropriate clothing
Another way to punish oneself is inappropriate to wear a particular season or weather. One reason for which a patient wears thick clothing during hot weather to hide an object or possible even just to themselves, protecting the world.
Body Piercing & Tattoos
In some cultures, piercing and tattoos are forms of spiritual conversion. Other people on the other hand consider these acts as self-expression. While these reasons are broadly acceptable to many, piercing and tattooing can still be considered as ways to harm oneself. Sometimes these self-mutilation (others call it transformation) become so addictive and so uncontrollable that they become two entirely different problems.
Recreation of a painful experience so far
A patient with one or more painful experiences of abuse who suffers from bipolar disorder can recreate those days if they remain untreated or unprocessed. There are two possible reasons a person does this: one is to let others who are still suffering, and the other is to let him or her the experience of pain and again as a gesture of guilt and forgiveness.
As mentioned above, these acts are clear manifestations of intent to do harm and can lead to suicide. The recognition of these acts, therefore, can save patients' lives. If you know someone who is depressed and do this, the approach to patient care and suggest that he or she should consult a psychiatrist. If in case you is the one practice of these acts, recognize their condition and seek immediate psychological treatment.
