Bipolar disorder is a more serious mental illness, which is characterized by extreme mood changes. A typical bipolar patient can slide from mania to mania with periodic movement. When the patient is in a period of low mood, he will appear desperate and low self-esteem, feeling hopeless. He is reluctant to do anything, even get out of bed. Some people can sleep for weeks on end. They dissociate and lose the ability to work. When in a frenzied state, the patient seems to have unlimited energy. They can go 24 hours or more without sleep or rest, and they are highly motivated and easily excited, often with inflated egos, reckless self-expression, chatter, shopping sprees, fast cars, sexual promiscuity, etc. This cycle of madness can come on suddenly and without prior warning. Some patients suffer from this cycle frequently, while others have relapses only once every few years. Patients seem to behave fairly normally outside of the crazy periods. About 2% of the population in the United States suffers from this disorder. Other symptoms of bipolar disorder include altered sleep habits, dissociation, extreme pessimism, tardiness, chronic hyperactivity, sudden outbursts of anger, and lack of restraint, especially with regard to sexual behavior. The cause of this disorder is related to an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, but the cause of this imbalance is still unknown. Currently, there are several theories about the cause of the disorder, which may be caused by extreme stress and tension. Some studies believe that grief experiences during early childhood, such as the loss of a parent or other childhood trauma, are an important factor. Also, there is evidence that during periods of emotional turmoil, sodium concentrations in the patient’s cells increase and drop to normal values when the patient recovers. When patients are depressed, they deplete the brain of monoamines. The disorder may also be genetically related and also influenced by the seasons, with depressive periods occurring mostly in the fall and winter, and remission periods in the spring, while the manic type is manifested in the summer.
