People with bipolar disorder experience huge mood swings and other things that they can’t control. But if they take their medications and have a good support system then that can help them a lot.

Teens with bipolar disease are often given a mood stabilizer to help calm down their episodes. They also usually go to therapy, with or without their families. Some teens need to be offered additional treatment if the medications and therapy visits aren’t helping enough.

People with bipolar disorder have highs (mania) and lows (depression). Bipolar highs and lows are different then regular ones though, they are severe mood swings that can really affect people. Some symptoms of mana are reckless behavior, increased energy, aggressive behavior, and impatience. Some symptoms of depression are feeling of worthlessness, inability to concentrate, appetite loss or overeating, and thoughts of suicide.

Bipolar disorder mostly affects adults but it can also affect kids and teens, although the symptoms are different. Kids and teens can experience symptoms such as rapid mood changes, irritability, and high levels of anxiety. Bipolar also affects the way people see you as in it can change the way you think, feel, and act, which can make it hard for people to understand bipolar.

Having an emergency plan for relapses is a good thing for bipolar people to have. Some things on it may include, an emergency contact list, a list of medications the person is taking, symptoms the person usually gets that indicate they are having an episode, and treatment preferences.

I would like other people to know that Bipolar Disorder is a very hard thing for people who have it to deal with and it is a disorder that they can’t control. They don’t know what’s happening to them until they get it diagnosed, and it can scare their families and even themselves.
