Bipolar DisorderKate Forrest C Period

A disorder in which a persons moodchanges rapidly from extremehappiness or mania to severedepression

MANIA

Mania:Racing Thoughts

Decreased need for sleepRapid SpeechAgitation or IrritationExtreme OptimismCareless use of drugs and alcoholEuphoriaSpending sprees or unwise financial decisionsInability to concentrateDelusions or breaks from reality

Relationships can be tough. With the mania, money can be overspent and savings lost. Abuse within the relationship and with drugs is common in the mania phase

Victims of Bipolar Disorder live for the mania. The nonstop happiness makes the whole disorder worth it for them.

This doesnt last though.

The withdrawn and shell like person that use to be your spouse is infuriating. This is why 2/3 of bipolar marriages fail.

The depression is the bad side of the disorder. The depression can feel worse than the normal depression because the mania is also felt. This can be part of the reason Bipolar Disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability internationally
