Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder refers to a brain syndrome that causes unusual changes in the activity
levels, mood, and energy of an individual that affects their ability to undertake routine tasks.
Variation in moods ranges from elevated and energized behavior to depressive periods.
Bipolar disorder is attributed to manic episodes that occur for at least seven days. In
particular, the condition is characterized by severe manic symptoms that require immediate
medical attention. The disorder is further escalated by depressive episodes that tend to last for
two weeks.
Furthermore, the condition can combine episodes of depression, and manic symptoms
which influences the seriousness of the illness. Therefore, comprehensive analysis of Bipolar
disorder is crucial to the well-being of individuals considering that it has detrimental effects
when not treated including; undermining career prospects, destroying relationships, and
affecting the academic performance of individuals. Also, severe depression episodes and
manic symptoms can result in one committing suicide (Legg, 2017).
Bipolar disorder has been associated with various factors specifically, genetic and
biochemical aspects. Genetic factors include family studies, twin studies, adoption studies
and pregnancy and birth complications....
