Bipolar Affective Disorder

Trastorno afectivo bipolar

What It Feels Like…

I don’t feel like sleeping, I feel like I’ve never been more productive, with all the money I have I can buy whatever I want. However, there are moments when I am not able to get out of bed, when I feel like I can’t cope with my life anymore. This has led me to believe I am bipolar, as others have suggested.

Description

Affecting approximately 60 million individuals globally, bipolar affective disorder is characterized by a cyclical pattern of manic and depressive episodes, separated by periods of normal mood. During manic episodes, patients may display heightened mood, irritability, increased energy levels, excessive talkativeness, elevated self-esteem, and reduced need for sleep. Mood-stabilizing medications are available to effectively manage the acute phases of bipolar disorder and prevent relapses. In addition, psychosocial support is an essential element of treatment. (WHO, 2018, para. 7-8).
