Bipolar disorder: survival guides for bipolar Type 2: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Bipolar disorder: survival guides for bipolar Type 2" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

For anybody familiar with the condition known as bipolar 2 , you will probably know how difficult and distressing the condition can be. Bipolar 2 disorder is a condition most commonly characterised by at least one hypomanic (happy) episode and one major depressive episode. Firstly, what is bipolar 2 ? - Bipolar 2 disorder, is a type of mental illness that is very similar to bipolar 1 disorder. Typically, persons suffering from bipolar 2 will experience severe mood swings and changes, alternating from periods of extreme lows, to highs over time. The only real difference between bipolar 1 and 2 is that in bipolar 2, the person suffering from the condition will never experience what is known as full on mania type highs. The less-intense elevated moods in bipolar 2 disorder are known as hypomania or hypomanic episodes. Generally, people suffering from bipolar 2 disorder will have, or will experience at least one hypomanic episode in their life. Unfortunately, people suffering from this condition also suffer spells of depression, sometimes quite severe. This is where the term manic depression comes from. What are the symptoms of bipolar 2 ? - Although bipolar 2 is thought to be generally less severe than bipolar 1, it is still an extremely serious medical condition and there are a number of symptoms to look for if you believe that you, or somebody you know, may be suffering from bipolar 2 disorder. People suffering from bipolar 2 usually have an elevated mood, irritability and notice some small changes in everyday functions. Instead of full-blown mania, in which persons can become hysterical and uncontrollable, those afflicted will instead experience hypomania episodes like we spoke about earlier. These are much less severe changes in mood but still just as serious. In bipolar 2, spells of depression can typically last for much longer than periods of hypomania. Bipolar 2 treatments - In bipolar 2, hypomania can actually disguise itself as feelings of joy, happiness or even optimism. If this hypomania is not causing any obvious signs of unhealthy or unnatural behaviour, it can often go undiagnosed, and as such, will obviously not be treated. This is a stark contrast to true mania type episodes, which can result in a person or persons becoming seriously injured, both physically and psychologically. True mania type episodes require treatment via specially designed medicines. Those suffering from bipolar 2 disorder can greatly benefit from preventive drugs designed to stabilize their mood over the long term. These drugs have been made to help prevent the negative side effects of hypomania, and can also help to prevent spells of depression. Mood stabilizers are also a great treatment when dealing with bipolar 2 disorder. Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Tegretol and Trileptal, are some of the more commonly prescribed drugs when dealing with this terrible condition. Anti-psychotics, anti-depressants and even tranquilizers have also been proven to help treat bipolar 2. There are things that can be done at home to help combat the affects of bipolar 2. Changes in diet, such as eating healthier, fresher foods and drinking more water have all been recommended. Try to get a good nights sleep and not over work yourself. All of these seemingly small changes can make a big, big difference. Bipolar 2 support - Finally, if you think that you, or somebody you know, may be suffering from bipolar 1 or bipolar 2 disorder then it is urgent that you seek medical help and advice as soon as possible. There are a number of books, forums, experts and help lines out there, all designed to give you all the care, support, help and advice that you could ever need. Remember, you are not alone, thousands upon thousands of others are suffering from this same condition and you and your loved ones can still lead a perfectly normal everyday life. I wish you good luck and good health for the future.

Introduction

Youmay not know this but Bipolar Type 2 is one of the most common mentaldisorders, which people suffer from these days. Due to symptoms being lesssevere, many refer to it as soft bipolar. Yet, even though the symptomsassociated with type 2 are less intense, it can still have a detrimental effecton the quality of life for the sufferer.

Infact, they often find it extremely troubling as they have the classic symptomsof bipolar type 1. They can be subject to serious and recurring bouts ofdepression, along with more subtle bipolar symptoms such as periods ofirritability, confusion, impulsiveness and agitation.

Whenbipolar type 2 sufferers have a manic episode, it is usually milder so ratherthan being hyperactive, they tend to feel more energized and happier. Due tothis, they do not suffer the terrible repercussions of a full-blown manicepisode.

However,it is worth saying that even though the symptoms are less severe they stillneed the right course of medication and therapy so they are able to takecontrol of their illness. If they do not, then there is a chance theircondition can become worse, which could have serious consequences.

Unfortunatelystudies show that bipolar type 2 has become much more prevalent. In fact, it isnow believed bipolar type 2 is three to four times more common than bipolartype 1. Yet, no one can offer an explanation as to why this has become thecase. However, it could be because bipolar disorder was categorized into fourdifferent classifications, therefore has now become much easier to recognizeand diagnose.

Eventhough it has become more prevalent, many believe patients are receiving thewrong diagnosis. Many say the reason for this is that the manic episodes inbipolar type 2 are much less severe than those of type 1,so can class as being ina normal state of elation.

Furthermore,if the symptoms associated with hypomania manifest themselves as racingthoughts, anxiety, insomnia or irritability then it becomes difficult formedical professionals to determine whether they suffer from bipolar type 2 ordepression. Often when a person suffers a manic episode they usually feelelated but for those who are bipolar type two, they usually feel more depressedrather than elation.

Bipolartype 2 sufferers also experience mixed episodes. These are the kind ofepisodes where they have symptoms associated with hypomania and depression atthe same time. As a result, their moods will change much more often, whichcould be within a matter of hours or days.

Rapidcycling is also another symptom of bipolar type 2. To class as suffering fromthis, a person needs to have experienced at least four changes in mood state inany given year.

Ifyou are at all concerned you may be suffering from bipolar type 2, do nothesitate to see your doctor and seek advice. Never put off doing this as yourcondition could become worse. The sooner you find out if you have bipolar type2 the sooner, you can start treatment.

However,the major difference is, when a bipolar 2 suffers a manic episode it doesntreach full on mania. This less severe mania is termed hypomania orhypomanic.

Forthose been diagnosed as having bipolar type 2 will know that to have beendiagnosed as such they have to experience at least one episode of hypomania intheir life. Saying that, type 2 sufferers tend to experience more depressiveepisodes than manic ones, which is where the term manic depression comesfrom.

Generally,anyone suffering from this condition will find that between their hypomania anddepressive episodes they are able to lead relatively normal lives.

Chapter 2
Causes ofBipolar Type 2

Eventhough medical professionals have carried out a great deal of research intoBipolar Disorder, they still do not completely understand what causes it.However, they have gained a better understanding of the bipolar spectrumespecially in relation to the elated highs of mania as well as the lows ofdepression. In addition, it has helped them to better understand the moodstates of people suffering from Bipolar Type 2 between these episodes.

Whatmedical experts are sure of is this disorder runs in families and certaingenetic components appear in sufferers. Many also suggest that our environmentand lifestyles can have an affect on people developing this condition and itsseverity.
