Is bipolar disorder just emotional ups and downs? Will it be hereditary?

Around us, at least 60 million people are affected by bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder, often referred to as the "emotional seesaw", not only suffers from pain and pressure that others cannot understand, but also the patient's relatives and friends live in a bipolar emotional whirlpool. Today, we have compiled 5 common doubts about bipolar disorder, hoping to help and inspire everyone. 01Is bipolar disorder just emotional ups and downs? Many people think of bipolar disorder too simply, the peaks and troughs of bipolar disorder are very different from ordinary mood swings. The distress faced by patients is extreme changes in mood, thinking, energy and behavior. There are three main types of bipolar disorder: bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia. Different types of bipolar may vary in intensity during a mood attack. For example, manic states are often described as elevated, happy, and excited; while depressive states are often described as dull, depressed, and melancholy. And, these changes can happen gradually or quickly, leaving people unprepared. 02Is bipolar disorder hereditary? According to numerous clinical data and studies, people with a family history of bipolar disorder (that is, a family member who has or has had bipolar disorder in the family) is more likely to suffer from bipolar disorder than the general population. high. It should be noted that although heredity is one of the factors that cause bipolar disorder, a person suffering from bipolar disorder is not caused by a single factor, but by personal experience, family environment, personality traits, genetics, The result of a combination of biological and other factors. 03 How long does a bipolar episode last? Bipolar disorder is typically characterized by a cycle of depression to mania over a specific period of time, which varies from person to person. Some people may have fast-cycling bipolar disorder, where they can cycle back and forth between depression and mania many times a day or a week. Some people may fall into one of these moods (depression/mania) for weeks or months. 04 Will bipolar disorder become refined over time? The first thing to be clear is that these are two separate disorders, bipolar does not evolve into schizophrenia, but the two may have overlapping symptoms, and there is growing evidence that they share a common genetic basis. Bipolar disorder is characterized by an affective disorder as the dominant symptom, and throughout the course of the disease, emotional highs or lows are accompanied by changes in thinking and behavior, and the intermittent periods are basically normal. Most patients with schizophrenia are out of touch with reality, with characteristic hallucinations, delusions, and logical thinking disorders as the main manifestations, and their inner experience is not in harmony with the surrounding environment. With the development of the disease, the symptoms in the early stage of the disease sometimes become inconspicuous, and other symptoms are the main clinical manifestations. At this time, a doctor needs to re-evaluate and make a diagnosis. 05How to treat bipolar disorder? At present, the treatment of bipolar disorder mainly includes drug therapy, psychotherapy, physical therapy and family and community support. Due to the great differences in individual responses to treatment, it is necessary to consider factors such as the patient's gender, age, main symptoms, physical condition, concomitant use of drugs, first episode or recurrence, and previous treatment history when formulating a treatment plan to select an appropriate plan. At the same time, during the treatment process, it is necessary to closely observe the treatment reactions, adverse reactions and possible drug interactions, etc., and adjust them in time to improve the patient's tolerance and compliance. I hope everyone can learn to recognize their own emotional state, grasp the "signals" of emotional changes, and more importantly, take medicines on time and according to the doctor's orders, which can help you improve your condition and live a better life.
