Typical symptoms of bipolar disorder: Patients with the manic phase exhibit abnormal behavior with marked abnormalities, persistent high mood, irritability, increased activity or high energy, and abnormal behavior for most of almost every day. The depressive phase, on the other hand, has a depressed mood, slowed thinking, reduced volitional activity, impaired cognitive function, and is also accompanied by somatic symptoms such as sleep disturbances, and in severe cases, suicide attempts or behaviors. However, some patients with depression are often overlooked or misdiagnosed because their symptoms are not “typical”. Treatment prescriptions: medication combined with psychotherapy for relatively mild symptoms, medication combined with non-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy for severe symptoms such as impulsivity, aggression, self-injury, and suicide; MECT for rapid symptom control, and medication for further consolidation and maintenance of efficacy. Other physical and other comprehensive treatments are available.
