Bipolar Disorder: Mania and Depression

In movies and TV shows, mania is usually depicted at being high on happiness and energy. While there is a kernel of truth in this image, the reality is that mania is not a pleasant experience. It poses a risk to an individual’s well-being. Furthermore, mania can be either felt as elation or as irritation/anger. The DSM-5 gives more details:

  1. Mania is a frenetic mood that be either happy or irritated. It lasts for a minimum of one week.
  2. When the mood is happy, three of the following should be experienced. If the mood is angered, then four should be experienced:
    • Racing emotions and thoughts.
    • Little sleep but high energy.
    • Struggles with focusing one’s attention.
    • Talkativeness.
    • Extreme planning toward a goal.
    • An inaccurate and over-extended self-image.
    • Taking risks and potentially harming oneself or others with irresponsible choices.
  3. These behaviors cannot be the result of a medication or drug.
  4. These behaviors must have one of the following result to be considered mania:
    • Psychosis.
    • Hospitalization.
    • Inhibited daily functioning.

The flip side of mania is depression. Bipolar Disorders swing people between the two, and both must be present in order for Bipolar to be diagnosed. The DSM-5 gives the following description for the depression phase: A weepy, sad, or numb state of mind that is experienced for the majority of the day for a continuous two-week period. In addition, individuals will feel severe apathy with a minimum of three of these symptoms:

  1. Changes in psychomotor skills (either an increase such as rapid finger tapping or a decrease such as slowed speech).
  2. Captivated thoughts of suicide or death.
  3. Lagging endurance and energy.
  4. Disturbed sleeping patterns—either hypersomnia or insomnia.
  5. Changes in appetite or weight.
  6. Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, and/or shame.
  7. The inability to focus or make decisions.

My depression and anxiety were taken over my life and I knew I had to make a change. Just like everyone else I thought I didn't need counseling. After my first session with Kristen G., I knew God had placed me with a compassionate, and caring therapist. Without a doubt I would recommend Thriveworks and their team of professionals
