Bipolar Disorder
This is a severe condition in the Affective Disorder family, considered
primarily due to aberrant psychophysiology and treated primarily with
medication. It is easily missed or misdiagnosed due to range of variations
observed in clinical practice; e.g., bipolar patients may be primarily
depressed, primarily manic, or afflicted with some other combination
or variation.
Patients in a manic state may talk excessively and urgently, need only
minimal sleep, feel highly euphoric or irritable, have tremendous energy,
and be prone to poor impulse control and poor judgment. When depressed,
they may be prone to suicide attempts, hopelessness, insomnia or hypersomnia,
anhedonia, dysphoria, and fatigue.
