Bipolar Disorder
The world of medicine has grown all over. With the advent of new research, new
technological proponents, and new techniques for treatment, there is inevitably the factor of
diversification – which construes variegated benefits to humanity. However, these advancements
have also extrapolated to the side of epidemics. More and more diseases are being discovered
each day, with cross-cut characteristics that can only be discerned through precision medicine.
For instance, there is a growing number of psychological disorders in the mental healthcare
department that affect today’s population - each demanding unique treatment. They include
schizophrenia, delusional disorder, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, et cetera. This paper delves
explicitly into discussing the latter by sharing both biological and medical facts about it, as well
as viable mitigation measures.
Some may ask what bipolar disorder is. Descriptively, it is a mental condition majorly
associated with mood swings. The condition is also responsible for uncontrollable and haphazard
concentration or activities and energy levels experienced on extremes. With this type of disorder,
it becomes difficult for the afflicted individual to carry out daily tasks with ease and a sense of
normalcy (Salo et al., 2019). It infringes on ones’ productivity levels and brings about
depression.
Depression, in this case, can be distinguished in two primary levels; the manic and
hypomanic levels. In the manic type of depression, several symptoms can be used to check out
its potency. The first and most common sign of manic manifestation is the loss of desire to sleep.
In the early stages, the person may feel the energy shift, without recognizing he is bipolar. As it
sets in, this shift affects daily schedules hence the accentuation of different and inconsistent
routines (Tondo, Vazquez & Baldessarini, 2017). Consequently, this is also supported by the
