Bipolar Disorder Treatment and Recovery
Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental health condition that leads to dramatic shifts in mood and energy levels, resulting in episodes of manic highs and depressive lows. The causes of bipolar disorder are multifactorial, including genetics, abnormal brain structure, and environmental factors like stress or substance abuse. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), approximately 2.8% of adults in the United States experienced bipolar disorder in the past year.
Bipolar disorder involves extreme emotional episodes that manifest differently in each individual. It can be challenging to diagnose, as individuals may experience periods of normalcy followed by severe manic or depressive episodes, underscoring the need for therapeutic treatment.
Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
When bipolar disorder co-occurs with substance abuse, the impact is significant, often worsening the effects of each disorder. This combination can lead to more frequent and prolonged manic or depressive episodes, decreased quality of life, and a higher risk of relapse.
Symptoms of manic episodes may include:
- High Activity or Energy: An unusually elevated level of activity.
- Extreme Happiness: Feelings of euphoria or excitement.
- Disturbed Sleep: Feeling rested after only a few hours of sleep.
- Inflated Self-Esteem: A sense of invincibility or exaggerated confidence.
- Increased Talkativeness: Speaking more than usual.
- Agitation or Irritability: Increased sensitivity or restlessness.
- Multitasking Extremes: Taking on numerous tasks at once.
While manic episodes can be challenging, treatment options are available and successful. At Pacific Breeze Recovery, our dual diagnosis program integrates an extensive treatment plan that addresses both substance abuse and bipolar disorder simultaneously, proving more effective than standalone approaches.
