Psychiatry Consultation at Green Wings Recovery Centre

Bipolar Disorder

Also known as manic depression, bipolar disorder is a mental disorder that results in drastic mood changes and energy swings. Such changes and swings range from mania (emotional highs) to downright depression (emotional lows). The prevalence rate of bipolar disorder in this country alone is somewhere between 0.4% and 0.6%, based on an estimation by Relate Malaysia, a local organization that focuses on mental health awareness.

Even though it has a significant chance of lasting throughout someone’s life, bipolar disorder is certainly manageable as long as constant monitoring is provided, such as via bipolar disorder treatment in Malaysia.

Symptoms 

Most of the time, those with bipolar disorder experience swift and unpredictable emotional swings. They could stay within one mood spectrum for a while, or switch back and forth between two opposite moods. The symptoms are as follows:

  • Manic period (emotional high)
    • Being overly happy and excited
    • Having less desire to consume food
    • Talking too rapidly
  • Depressive period (emotional low)
    • Getting either inadequate or excessive sleep
    • Feeling hopeless or worthless
    • Losing sexual desires

Causes of Bipolar Disorder

It is still quite difficult for researchers, even these days, to exactly pinpoint why does bipolar disorder occur. Nevertheless, there are some possible justifications as to how a person could end up having such a condition, includes:

  • Irregular brain structure, where it undergoes slight alterations during its physical development
  • Traumatic encounters, such as the death of a loved one or accidents

Additional Risk Factors for Bipolar Disorder

Aside from external or internal factors, people are more prone to bipolar disorder if they suffer from:

  • Intense stress
  • Substance abuse
  • Physical diseases

Treatment

Experts would recommend specific medications to stabilize the moods of bipolar patients. Various types of psychotherapy can also be carried out to help detect and regulate sudden emotional imbalance. Fortunately, standard bipolar disorder treatment in Malaysia covers all of the above mechanisms.
