    Exploring The Various Bipolar Disorders

    Bipolar illnesses are not all alike. There are even specialized categories for the bipolar illnesses which doctors use to distinguish one kind from another. This makes it easier for them to discuss the particular types of troubles a patient might be having. A reasonably benign and often overlooked member of the family of bipolar illnesses is hypomania. It is overlooked for wonderful reason. It is seldom a problem for the person who has it. It may even increase his chances for success by making him more outgoing, quick thinking, and optimistic. Treatment is rarely sought and seldom needed.

    The the bulk common disorder to be cosidered of as one of the bipolar illnesses is bipolar I. This encompasses all those who suffer from alternating manic and depressed states. Those with bipolar I go from having the highest viewpoint of themselves to having little regard for their own well being. They go from times of rapid and outlandish activity to periods of desperation and ideas of death.

    Of all the bipolar disorders, bipolar I is probably the the bulk difficult to treat. Mood stabilizers such as lithium or anticonvulsants are useful. If depression, or especially mania, turns into psychosis, an antipsychotic medication is called for to bring the patient back to reality.

    The difficulty comes in treating simple depression in bipolar I. An antidepressant would seem to be in order but, for the person who may become manic, it may be dangerous. It could beginning a cycle of quick changes from depression to mania and back again in relatively short order. In the bipolar illnesses this problem is the bulk prevalent in bipolar I.

    Dual diagnosis is another of the bipolar disorders. This is the combination of any bipolar disorder with alcohol and/or drug abuse. Most often, the abuse, in this case, of alcohol or drugs comes after the onset of one of the bipolar disorders.

    These materials are used by the person with bipolar disorder to reduce the symptoms of the illness. A stimulant may seem to aid a person to overcome depression, and a depressant, such as alcohol may be cosidered to lessen the over activity of mania, for example. In reality, the abuse of drugs and/or alcohol only makes the episodes more severe in the end. This is not an answer for those with bipolar disorders.

    Less obvious, but also considered one of the bipolar disorders, is MDD, or main depression. People with MDD spend the bulk of the time that they are sick being depressed. They may have minor and short manic episodes, but the depression dominates. For these people, life is grim, unsatisfying, and probably seems unbearable. Episodes of depression for these people may last for months or sometimes years.

    Treatment for these people is usually less complicated. They may react well to antidepressants, talk therapy, and even to something as simple as exercise. There is less chance of triggering a manic episode, so treatment is less risky in these bipolar disorders.

    There are a lot bipolar disorders. There are also a lot ways to treat these bipolar disorders. The trick is to match a disorder to the correct treatment and to encourage the patient to follow that treatment to the best of his or her ability. Having words to describe the dissimilar bipolar illnesses makes it that much easier for the doctors and others to do their parts.
