There are early signs and preventions. Paying attention to mood swings and attitudes can help detect early episodes. Including family and friends to help watch for signs and to experience episodes can help to track patterns and to pinpoint what triggered the episodes. If you’re experiencing symptoms avoid drugs and alcohol use. Even though it may make u feel better; it’s only temporarily covering up the symptoms. Don’t try diagnosing yourself and don’t try medications that aren’t prescribed to you. Talk to your doctor about how you’re feeling. If then diagnosed and prescribed medication; take the medication as directed. Bipolar Disorder can be treated effectively with a combination of medications, therapy, and lifestyle changes. Lifestyle home remedies consist of quitting drugs and alcohol drinking; drugs and alcohol encourage risk-taking behavior that leads to negative consequences. Steering clear of unhealthy relationships; unhealthy relationships encourage unhealthy behavior or attitudes that may trigger episodes. Get regular exercise; exercise releases brain chemicals that make a person feel good. And get plenty of sleep; sleep helps to manage moods.

It might be you or somone you know

About three people out of every two hundred people have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. That means between two to five million people in the United States have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and several still suffer the symptoms without being diagnosed and receiving treatment. There are several conditions that researchers have labeled to the cause of Bipolar Disorder. These conditions are listed as childhood upbringing, environmental, trauma, drugs, alcohol, head injuries, stress, and genetics. One theory is that mental disorders are genetically pasted from the father, along with several other disorders considering his sperm is living and a woman’s egg isn’t. If either one of the parents has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder their unborn child has a ten to twenty percent chance of genetically inheriting the disorder. If neither parent has Bipolar Disorder most likely their unborn child isn’t at risk.
