Vital Pieces Of Bipolar Symptoms
The symptoms of bipolar are divided into two groups; they are manic and depressive. People with bipolar disorder are going to suffer both groups of symptoms.
Mania
Mania is the high point of bipolar symptoms . Someone with mania will feel great. They’re glad and seem they’re on top of the world.
However, the main point of mania is that the person is not only pleased, but glad in the extreme. All symptoms of a person actually has in a manic episode is pushed to the extreme that is why it’s regarded as a mania, not just simply be happy.
The other trouble with the manic episode is that because of the extreme high, the person may tend to do something spontaneously, and cannot control their behavior. A lot of people during this episode will feel like they’re unbeatable.
Other things that can happen during a manic episode may not seem like happy behavior. A person may become very aggressive and confrontational. They may seem very mouthy or irritated.
Symptoms of bipolar (manic episode) include:
• Extremely optimistic
• Bad-tempered
• High energy
• No need for sleep
• Unrealistic thoughts
• High self esteem
• Quick talking
• Extremely active
• Unable to concentrate
• Agitation
• Reckless behavior
Depression
Another kind of episode suffered by a person suffering from bipolar disorder is depressive episode. Totally the opposite of mania, depression brings about someone to feel extremely weak. The person may feel very sad and low.
They will begin to feel like their life is useless. The depressive episode may cause thoughts and actions to suicide.
A depressive episode is often times more harmful to a person than a manic episode. Depressive episodes are almost always treated with medication because of this fact.
The standard medications, though, used to treat depression frequently don’t work for bipolar depression and in fact will make it worse. Someone suffering from bipolar depressive episode usually will move slowly and begin to act extremely different than a person that is simply suffering from depression.
Depression bipolar symptoms:
• Feeling blameworthy
• Very sorrow
• Move and speak slowly
• Sleeping all the time
• Extreme changes in eating habits
• Feeling of emptiness
• Sluggishness
It is important not to ignore the signs of bipolar disorder. The symptoms of bipolar are the first sign that something is wrong and the first opportunity for someone to get help and treatment.
