ely. They may include feelings of elation that are not appropriate for the occasion, sleeplessness, grandiose ideas, speaking faster and faster, racing thoughts, inappropriate sexual desires, too much energy, and inappropriate social behavior. These can result in poor judgment, which leads to poor choices. Studies have been done that show that members of each generation in a family will inherit the disease, so it is a genetic condition. However, many family members will not be affected by the disorder. Stress in the environment tends to exacerbate the illness. And sometimes the condition will occur in families with no history of bipolar depression. Because the brain is so complicated, treatment of manic depression takes some time to determine.
Some studies show that perhaps one cause of this disorder is fetal stress during a pregnancy. In other words, when a woman is pregnant and undergoes unusual stress, this can affect the development of the fetus and result in passing on bipolar depression. The cause of this problem is thought to be the circulation of hormones through the blood, which then transfer through to the baby and affects his development of his brain. More studies are needed to see exactly how this happens and the frequency of the syndrome. Other causes can vary from deprivation in infancy, physical or sexual abuse, the presence of certain personality traits, and an inability to cope with stressful situations.
One of prevalent treatment of manic depression is to use prescribed medications to ease the indications. One cause of manic depression symptoms is too much dopamine and serotonin in the brain, therefore health professionals will recommend medications try to address this problem. These are called neurochemicals, and are found in lower quantities in normal functioning people. The brain is so complex that there are more than 100 different types of neurochemicals found in the brain that regulate different functions of thinking and acting. It is not known how the difference in levels affect the brain and why there are differences in the amount of neurochemicals in the brain; however, certain medications lower the amount of neurochemicals in the brain, giving the patient relief from manic depression symptoms.
A difficult situation, usually one with associated stress, can initiate an attack. This could be problems in a marriage, difficulties on a job, financial problems, a serious loss, or even a change in the pattern of lifestyle. These can trigger an onset of the disease or make the disease more difficult to deal with. When the person doesn't have good coping mechanisms, he has trouble dealing with the issue at hand and drops into a low or a high, depending on the issue at hand. This causes the person to do inappropriate measures and further alienates him from the people in his life or further deepens the problem he is dealing with. Then he begins to feel sad and hopeless, to feel he is worthless, or has a loss of interest in the normal things in his life. Hobbies are neglected with feelings of fatigue and sleeplessness. Guilt is another feeling that can overcome that person struggling with the disease. Restlessness and irritability take over. In extreme cases, the patient struggles with a desire to commit suicide. There are two types of bipolar disorder, I and II. Bipolar I consists of cycles of lows and elation. It can affect all areas of a person's life, causing disruption of normal living patterns when the low cycle comes. Bipolar I is the more common disorder. Bipolar disorder II has euphoric states that do not meet the criteria of bipolar I. This syndrome is accompanied by mini highs called hypomania.
When a person is experiencing manic depression symptoms, he can turn to mental health professionals to help him through the difficult times. He can also rely on a regimen of medications that can alleviate the indications and keep him on a more even keel and avoid the poor judgment that low cycles often precipitate. Another treatment of manic depression is to change patterns of thinking. Psalm 48:9 says, "We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple." Concentrating on the good things in life help to alleviate the low times and bring the thinking patterns back into a more stable pattern. More severe attacks accompanied by lack of concentration and persistent physical problems such as headaches, digestive disorders, and pain may need to be addressed by a physician. If the patient has repeated thoughts of suicide, immediate intervention may be needed. The treatment of manic depression may take years, and some follow-up may be needed for the rest of the ill person's life. However, the outlook is good if the afflicted patient is consistent in following recommended treatment and learns coping mechanisms to cope with the stresses of life.
