unipolar bipolar depression
Without Episonde Manic Depression?
A family member has shown symptoms of increasingly severe manic episodes newspapers, including bursts of energy followed by periods of anxioty, misjudgment (sexual and spending promiscouity Wreckless) itatibility and intolerance of others, blaming her state of spirits of his fellow-workers, family, neighbors and friends. It all sounds like bipolar disorder, except among manic episodes (which usually lasts 3 to 10 days) no or very little sign of depression. Doctors and psychiatrists have been any help, probably due to inaccurate reporting of symptoms the patient herself. Is there such thing as "unipolar"? Manic episodes without depression Inbetween? And how can we help a paitent that will not see their own problem?
Bipolar disorder is so often misdiagnosed, because it has several different subtypes, and is so complex. And as my doctor told me once "is very rare that a case comes along that is typical of a particular mental disorder." She was not referring to bipolar disorder, but mental illness in general. And if the patient had been reporting their own symptoms to the doctor without the support of friends or relatives, it is difficult for him or her to describe their behavior and moods without prejudice. I did not know he was sick long after that began to manifest itself, because I thought it was normal to feel this way. The criteria for the diagnosis of bipolar I disorder requires that the individual "has experienced one or more manic episodes with or without experience episodes of major depression ". It requires, however, the man has suffered at least one or more mixed episodes, where the symptoms of mania and clinical depression are shown at a time. For example: anxiety, irritability, paranoia, insomnia, panic, aggressiveness, agitation, anger, fatigue and impulsivity. You mention the anxiety and irritability, symptoms of clinical depression. So maybe your family meets the criteria for bipolar I disorder? All the best.
