Bipolar disorder affects 2 to 3% of estimated adult population in the world. In India, the exact figures could not be drawn because of poor diagnosis and reporting. Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness that is characterized by extreme mood swings, weird behavior and emotional highs(mania) and lows(depression). Therefore it is also known to be Manic Depression. When there is depression, you may feel sad and hopeless but when you experience highs, you may feel euphoric with full energy. These mood swings occur only a few times in a year for some or several times in a year for many. Bipolar symptoms can be controlled with dependence on lifelong medications and psychological counseling. Dr. Anil Yadav is the most experienced Psychiatrist who is rendering Bipolar Disorder treatment in Gurgaon.

Causes

Is Bipolar a genetic disease?

-Genes are one of the risk factors for developing a bipolar disorder. It tends to run in families. Children with the family history of Bipolar are more likely to suffer from the disease compared to those who do not have such history of illness in their family

-Various environmental conditions such as extreme stress, trauma, prolonged illness can trigger this disorder in adults.

-Seasonal changes, addiction to drugs and alcohol, lack of sleep may also trigger.

Symptoms

Extreme mood sings occur from sadness and hopelessness to joyful and enthusiastic state. Energy levels also fluctuate in accordance with the mood changes. The three distinct phases include:

Mania: This is characterized by high energy levels, less need of sleep, aggressive thought process, verbosity, increased goal-directed activities and extreme sense of superiority.

Depression: Sadness, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, decreased physical activity, low self-esteem, disturbed sleep.

Rapid cycling: Here there are rapid episodes of both mania and depression within a short span of time.

Medications and Therapies

Our doctor firstly analyzes the intensity of the symptoms and then decide what to go for. -Medications may have to be taken for a lifelong time to alleviate the mood swings. Mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and antipsychotics are prescribed. Lithium is one such medication that have a profound effect on reducing suicidal thoughts.

-Some psychotherapies are helpful in providing relief from various symptoms and revive the energy back.

-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves driving away the negative thoughts and beliefs in patients and replacing them with hopeful and positive thoughts. These can build confidence, manage stress, cope up with sad situations.

-ElectroConvulsive Therapy(ECT) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS) are recommended for patients who could not be treated with the above methods.In this electric impulses and magnetic waves are produced and sent to patient’s brain to trigger a seizure such that it rectifies brain’s chemical messengers.
