Study Notes
Bipolar Disorder: Key Facts and Clinical Course
- Major depression can last 6 months to 2 years, while bipolar disorder cycles between depression and normal behavior or mania and normal behavior.
- Bipolar mixed episodes involve alternating major depressive and manic episodes interspersed with periods of normal behavior.
- Each mood in bipolar disorder can last for weeks or months before the pattern repeats.
- Bipolar disorder affects men and women equally and is more common in highly educated individuals.
- Some individuals with bipolar disorder deny their mania, leading to potentially higher prevalence rates than reported.
- The first manic episode typically occurs in a person's teens, 20s, or 30s.
- There is debate about whether some children diagnosed with ADHD may actually have early-onset bipolar disorder.
- Manic episodes begin suddenly with rapid escalation of symptoms over a few days and can last from a few weeks to several months.
- Adolescents with bipolar disorder are more likely to have psychotic manifestations.
- The diagnosis of a manic episode requires at least 1 week of heightened, grandiose, or agitated mood, along with specific symptoms such as inflated self-esteem and decreased need for sleep.
- Clients with bipolar disorder may stop taking medications due to liking the euphoria and feeling burdened by side effects and medical visits.
- Psychotherapy can be useful in the mildly depressive or normal portion of the bipolar cycle, but not during acute manic stages.
