drive your moods swinging back and forth, you (excuse the expression) crazy. You go to the doctor in search of answers. After many questions and possible tests for other diseases you are diagnosed with bipolar disorder. While some names have, as you may feel some relief, the reality that being a “mental illness” scary.

So take a deep breath and relax. Many of us have difficulty BP, you’re not alone. You have questions and this should be one of the first – that bothers BP? There are several types of bipolar disorder characterized by the length, frequency and pattern of manic and depressive episodes. A correct diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

I had the unique experience that originally when BP 2, then upgraded to a BP 10 years later diagnosed.

bipolar disorder

Who BP experience manic episodes or mixed episodes of extreme (mania and depression occurring nearly every day for at least a week) and one or more episodes of major depression. BP is one of the most severe form of the disease. Psychosis, paranoia, and hospitalization are all connected to BP1. Episodic depression need not be experienced in the diagnosis of BP1, but it mostly.

My own experience with BP1has included a trip to the psychiatric ward, paranoid, and not for months. Mixed episodes and suicidal thoughts were also present during my last relapse.

Bipolar disorder 2

Because depression is what we normally send to the doctor, BP 2 is generally mistaken as depression. Basically, if the slide into depression hypomania, you feel so much better than this for you not to go to the doctor or stay on your medication pass. Honestly, it feels good – maybe better than good, because hypomania has taken over. The high moods are associated with hypomania welcome, after a deep depression. Most of the time friends and family simply believe that depression has lifted, and you’re back, that the life of the party. The problem is that “what’s up, must come down” and usually this is not a mood, the level /> BP2 was my diagnosis, during a deep depression that followed was a wild hypomania caused by the anti-depressants developed with the help of rapid smoking. Yes, I got was launched an antidepressant to help me quit smoking and relieve mild depression caused by frequent migraines. It took only a few months and I was raised on the mountain rock hypomania. I was running on all cylinders at work, I opened my own business from home, slept and never spent much time drinking (a form of self-medication that is considered the hospital of the abuse).

otherwise specified (NOS)

bipolar disorder NOS, sometimes referred to as “sub-threshold” bipolar disorder is a “catch all” diagnosis, with a bipolar disorder that does not fit in a display is not the official DSM-IV diagnostic categories of bipolar (BP 1, BP-2 or cyclothymia see below). If a person seems to suffer from bipolar manic and depressive symptoms a few, but do not meet the criteria BP1, 2, or cyclothymia diagnosis of bipolar disorder NOS (not specified) were added.

Honestly, I think we all kind of NSA BP because I have never met two people with BP disorder have traditionally fulfilled all requirements of any kind. It seems to me that BP is unique as its owner. And by the way, you are the owner of the BP, it is not the owner of you.

Cyclothymia Cyclothymia is a milder form of bipolar disorder that is characterized by a number of hypomanic episodes and less severe depressive episodes that alternate for at least two years. The severity of the disease can change over time.

Fast Cycling rapid cycling bipolar disorder is diagnosed when a person four or more manic, hypomanic or depressive episodes experienced in each period of 12 months. Rapid cycling can occur with any type of bipolar disorder, and may be a temporary condition for some people be.

is confusing, it is not

Make sure you discuss your diagnosis with your psychiatrist. Do your own research and write the questions you have and then they can ask. Remember, you have BP and is also unique, you are so you need to write your own manual, because the best anyone else can do, is you general information. You have the details, and you must be self-aware to find

Just a note -… The term bipolar disorder is BP, although you might think it would be funny for BD is borderline personality disorder, I do not know why, just thought I should let you know.
