Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder. Affecting about 1 in 40 US adults, the condition is characterized by alternating periods of mania or hypomania and depression. Due to the nature of the condition, Bipolar Disorder can be hard to detect and might first be diagnosed as depression or another condition.
The two main presentations or “types” of Bipolar Disorder are Bipolar 1 disorder and Bipolar 2 disorder. Both conditions are treatable, but they present slightly differently. Here is the main difference between the two:
- To meet the diagnostic criteria for Bipolar 1 disorder, you must have experienced at least one manic episode lasting for at least one week.
- To meet the diagnostic criteria for Bipolar 2 disorder, you must have experienced at least one hypomanic episode lasting for four days or more.
Cyclothymia is another condition that may be diagnosed in the instance that a person has undergone alternating periods of manic or hypomanic and depressive symptoms that do not meet the complete criteria for major depressive or manic and hypomanic episodes.
Depression can present in many different ways. During a depressive episode, you or the man in your life may experience symptoms such as the following:
- A down, low, numb, or depressed mood most or all of the day, nearly every day
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you would typically enjoy
- Slowed psychomotor activity or restlessness (e.g., pacing)
- Feelings of hopelessness, guilt, or worthlessness
- Recurrent thoughts of suicide or death
- Trouble concentrating or focusing
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Increased or decreased sleep
- Social withdrawal
- Fatigue
Other symptoms, like irritability, can also occur during a depressive episode. Some people may be able to hide symptoms of depression and continue their responsibilities as usual; others may struggle to do so.
During a manic or hypomanic episode, the signs you notice in yourself or a loved one might vary substantially. Hypomania is a lower-level form of mania where symptoms are less severe. During an episode of mania or hypomania, you or the man in your life may experience symptoms such as the following:
- An uptick in risky or impulsive behavior (e.g., reckless driving, spending, or sexual activity)
- Uncontrollable racing thoughts or rapidly changing topics and ideas while speaking
- Heightened activity (e.g., restlessness or working on multiple projects at once)
- Having more energy than usual or a decreased need for sleep
- Talking faster than usual
- Irritability or agitation
- Inflated self-esteem
- Distractibility
Some people with Bipolar Disorder may also experience paranoia, delusions, or hallucinations during manic episodes.
How Bipolar Disorder Affects Physical Health and Substance Abuse
Substance use disorders and other mental health conditions, including Bipolar Disorder, can take a toll on the body. Additionally, it is a well-known fact that people with mental health conditions face a higher risk of substance use disorders. Based on mental health and addiction research, here’s some of what we know:
- People with Bipolar Disorder are seven times as likely to live with a substance use disorder.
- Both Bipolar Disorder and substance abuse are linked to a greater likelihood of cardiovascular disease and some other health conditions.
- Both Bipolar Disorder and substance abuse (e.g., alcoholism) are associated with a higher risk of road injuries.
- Bipolar Disorder and substance use disorders are treatable.
When you face addiction and one or more co-occurring mental health conditions, it is vital to address them comprehensively. Our men’s bipolar treatment center offers dual diagnosis treatment, which can help you or the man you know achieve whole-person healing.
