Sure-shot Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
We define and recognize the condition of ourselves and our loved ones. That's why we're recapping common signs of bipolar disorder, including symptoms of both mania and depression that you don't want to ignore.
Appetite changes:
Some people overeat junk food when they are depressed.
Others pick at their food with no interest in eating it. Some can't get out of
bed while others lie awake. Significant changes in appetite (and weight) and
sleep patterns — no matter how they manifest — can indicate a depressive cycle
of bipolar disorder. Our psychiatrist in Indore can help you.
Impulsive behaviour:
Most people are aware
of this symptom of mania: the shopping spree, the extramarital affair, the
motorcycle trip across the country. However, what's impulsive for one human
being is completely different for another. If you suddenly want to ditch your
career as an IT guy in Middle America to become a gourmet chef.
Thought flips:
You can't catch your thoughts because they are rolling off
the teleprompter screen in your brain too quickly to read, resulting in a lot
of babble that doesn't make sense to the person in front of you. Now compound
the jumbled thoughts with the so accelerated speech that you appear to be on
speed.
Reduced sleep need:
The average person is delighted by the excessive energy of a
manic or hypomanic cycle, the
additional hours in her day courtesy of a short night. If you or a loved one is
functioning well (with no real signs of fatigue or cognitive impairment) on
four to five hours of sleep for weeks on end.
