| Publisher Description: You are about to discover proven steps and strategies on how to properly support and care for a loved one with bipolar disorder. More often than not, people whose loved one has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder wonder what to expect and how they should show their love and support the best way they can. It can be very difficult for those who are diagnosed with bipolar to accept their condition. In the same way, it can also be overwhelming and at the same time frightening for the family and friends of people with bipolar disorder, especially if they do not know the appropriate ways of supporting and dealing with the condition.Bipolar disorder, which is also known as manic depression, is a type of mental or psychiatric disorder that is marked by extreme mood swings. Although there have been continuous research and studies on the condition, its ultimate cause remains unknown. On the other hand, some of the presumed contributors to bipolar disorder include brain chemistry, genetics and life events. All people experience various events in their daily lives. However, people who are suffering due to bipolar disorder experience more persistent episodes of life's "ups and downs," that affect their ability to function as an individual. Bipolar disorder can affect one's thoughts, moods and behavior.In recent studies, mental health experts estimate that over 2 million adults are afflicted with bipolar disorder. Thus, if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with this condition, the most important step to discard uncertainty is education. Educating yourself about bipolar can help you deal with a loved one who has been inflicted with this unfortunate condition. |
