What Bipolar I Disorder ( Bd )

Introduction In the three papers I have submitted this semester on Bipolar I Disorder (BD), I have discussed etiology, subpopulations and comorbidity, and current gaps in care. In this paper, I will continue to discuss these topics by outlining what kinds of epidemiological evidence are still needed to improve care for children and adolescents with mental health disorders, identifying anxiety disorders as subpopulation that needs further research, and giving three recommendations for how we should

I first became interested in how the mind works at a young age. An introspective and deep thinker, I would take inventory of the people around me and the way they behaved. I assessed why a certain reaction may have occurred between two parties, whether the reaction was positive or negative. Replaying scenarios in my head, like Sherlock Holmes, became more prolific as the term “manic depression” came into my life. Manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, became a topic of regular conversation

city it strives for order and efficiency. However a patient with Bipolar Disorder has a very chaotic type of brain function; causing changes in mood and sometimes suicidal thoughts Bipolar Disorder is a common psychiatric mood disorder that is defined by recurrent episodes of abnormally elevated mood and depression, changes in energy and, the ability to carry out day to day tasks. (Joel, Jakosson and colleges) “Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a chronic disease with high risk of relapse. This disease also

Bipolar disorder is caused, in part, by factors of nature. In short, bipolar disorder is caused by factors of genetics, heredity, factors that are inherent to who we are. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a “neuropsychiatric disorder…characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and mania or hypomania” (Bavamian et al., 2015. p. 573). The study conducted by Bavamian et. al., asserts that there are in fact microRNAs (miRNAs) which regulate gene expression. In individuals with BD, they expression of miR-34a

life I have only distantly been affected from a case of bipolar disorder (BD). In high school, a classmate of mine had a mother who suffered from bipolar disorder and we as a class only found out about it when she committed suicide. I never really understood bipolar disorder before then, and afterwards I only understood it as the mother being very confused and constantly unhappy. In my undergraduate years and now in my beginning graduate career, I am solidifying my understanding of bipolar disorder

conditions, major depressive episodes (MDE) feature more highly in both bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). Some experts argue it is diagnostically challenging to make a differential diagnosis due to the clinical presentation of a MDE in a bipolar patient often having little to distinguish it from that of a patient with MDD (Almeida & Phillips, 2013; Hirschfeld, 2014). This diagnostic challenge has contributed to BD being both under-recognised and often misdiagnosed as MDD (Hirschfeld

application of a variety of therapies for bipolar disorder are examined through the lens of a mix of quantitative, qualitative and mixed peer reviewed journals acquired from data sources such as MEDLINE, and Psycinfo by using Boolean language in Lamar University’s library data base. Current studies into the dynamics of manic depression or bipolar disorder, offer insight into future treatments; diagnosis of pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD); and detection of BD at a genetic level. Concerns that arise

Bipolar and related disorders are lifelong perplexing mental illnesses that are difficult to diagnose and treat. Bipolar illness is a chronic shifting of extreme euphoria (mania) and deep sadness or hopelessness (depressive) episodes, complicated by comorbidities and the potential for poor health outcomes. The occurrence of bipolar disorder (BD) throughout the adult population in the United States is reported to be approximately 5.7 million people each year, with a lifetime prevalence of 3.9 percent

to examine, through selective reference, the evidence that exists in favour of clinical distinctions between major depressive episodes in bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. Specifically the review will assess the clinical utility of DSM-5 in effectively and efficiently aiding practitioners in making a differential diagnosis. A depressive disorder can be debilitating, affecting a person’s capacity to perform everyday tasks. A MDD is defined as having separate episodes of at least 2 weeks’
