"The Troubled Mind" the other side of mental disorder..
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Bipolar disorder, sometimes called manic
depression, affects nearly 6 million American adults, or about 2.5% of the adult
population. Most people with this disorder swing from depression to manic
states.
severe bi-polar disorder is hard to deal with on their own, and for the people around them , it's even worse. the disturbed mind wanders down a dark and dangerous path.
A person who is in a bipolar depressive state is going to look just like someone who has regular depression.
Some people with this condition suffer from "mixed mania," where they experience symptoms of mania and depression at the same time. During this state, they are often extremely irritable.About
50% of people who suffer from this disorder also have a substance abuse problem.
This symptom may be something that is hard to recognize, but it occurs frequently when someone is in a manic phase. People feel like their mind is racing and that they can't control or slow down their thoughts. At first i was unaware that this is a real and serious disease with people. I use to just pass it
off as "this motherfucker is crazy" but i have come to realize, you can't judge it unless you have lived
it. When you have been around individuals with these symptoms for long periods of time, you start
to feel as if you're going crazy.
