Symptoms & Causes of Bi-Polar Disorder 

The main symptoms of bipolar disorder are alternating episodes of extreme euphoria, or mania, and major depression. With treatment, many people with the condition can work, study, and live a full and productive life. However, some people stop taking their medication or choose not to take it.

Symptoms of bipolar disorder can be difficult to identify in children and teens. It’s often hard to tell whether these are normal ups and downs, the results of stress or trauma, or signs of a mental health problem other than bipolar disorder. If your teen or child is having extreme mood swings that differ from their usual mood swings, it may be time to see a doctor. 

Some Symptoms of Bi-Polar Disorder

  • Impared judgement 
  • “racing” thoughts that come and go quickly, and bizarre ideas that the person may act upon
  • High highs and low lows
  • Insomnia, issues sleeping
  • Weight loss or weight gain 
  • irritation, possibly triggered by noises, smells, tight clothing, and other things that would usually be tolerated or ignored

If you have any symptoms of depression or mania, see your doctor or mental health professional. Bipolar disorder doesn’t get better on its own. Getting treatment from a mental health professional with experience in bipolar disorder can help you get your symptoms under control.

Your Different Treatment Options

Acupuncture

Acupuncture, an ancient technique of traditional Chinese medicine, has long been used to treat chronic pain. These specific points  can help with inflammation, relieving some pain for clients that may be suffering. Acupuncture and its medical techniques are much easier on your body than traditional medicine and promote natural healing using your body’s energy. Acupuncture can manage symptoms especially after multiple sessions.*

Tui Na 

This form of hands on therapy is a great alternative to acupuncture. This massage therapy relieves pain within the patient by increasing blood flow throughout the body.* Our specialists will carefully manipulate your soft tissue and joints to stimulate your acupressure points and help your chi flow through your body in order to help lessen the pain you may feel.*

Cupping

Cupping is a vacuum therapy that may draw toxins out of tissues, reduce pain, and promote healthy lymphatic flow.The asthma treatment involves moving a cup up and down the muscles between the ribs. Using cups on these muscles can relieve the tension and pain people feel from constant coughing and wheezing.

Exercise

For most people, exercise can have a positive effect on their mood. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are known as the brain’s “feel-good” chemicals. Over time, higher levels of endorphins can make you feel better. This is why exercise is often recommended for people with depression. Exercise can also help you combat stress.

Dietary Therapy

There’s many different aspects to treating and dealing with Bi-Polar Disorder. Whether it be medication, exercising, meditating, this disorder requires a balanced regiment. Food is the ultimate medicine, certain foods and dietary supplements might play a role in helping — or hindering — people with bipolar disorder. There’s no specific diet to follow, however, when you work with one of the medical professionals at Sophia, we can come up with the best plan of action to benefit you.
