Bipolar Disorder (Emotional)
Each year about 2.5% of the population is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a disorder formerly called manic depression. The average age of onset of this mental disorder is at the age of 25, but symptoms of this disorder have been recognized practically in all age groups.
This serious disorder concerns individuals from any social, economic, ethnic and leftist backgrounds.
The "ups and downs" of bipolar disorder create significant limitations in social and professional relationships, as well as conflicts and alienation with the family environment.
Bipolar disorder, when not treated in a timely and effective manner, makes it particularly difficult or impossible to maintain professional employment, and creates feelings of low self-esteem and despair that are particularly aggravated in the depressive phase.
Bipolar disorder is actually a neurochemical disorder that causes extreme mood swings and emotions.
Patients with bipolar disorder require immediate psychiatric treatment because suicide rates are at 10-15%.
These patients respond positively to the necessary medication, which in combination with appropriate psychotherapy leads to excellent results.
