children and teens. The symptoms
aren’t as intense as bipolar
disorder I or bipolar disorder II.
CONTINUED.....
• "Unspecified" or "other specified"
bipolar disorder (formerly called
"bipolar disorder not otherwise
specified") is now used to describe
conditions in which a person has only
a few of the mood and energy
symptoms that define a manic or
hypomanic episode, or the symptoms
may not last long enough to be
considered as clear-cut "episodes."
SYMPTOMS
Symptoms of mania ("the highs") : -
• Excessive happiness, hopefulness, and
excitement

being irritable, angry, and hostile
• Restlessness
• Rapid speech and poor concentration
• Increased energy and less need
for sleep

being

DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
• History taking

OTHER
• CT scan

CONTINUED.....
• Diagnosing bipolar disorder is all
about the person's symptoms and
determining whether they may be
the result of another cause (such
as low thyroid or mood symptoms
caused by drug or alcohol abuse).
How severe are they? How long
have they lasted? How often do
they happen?
CONTINUED.....
• Talking to close friends and
family of the person can often
help the doctor distinguish bipolar
disorder from major
depressive disorder or other
psychiatric disorders that can
involve changes in mood,
thinking, and behavior.
TREATMENT
MEDICATION
• Medication is the main treatment,
usually involving the following:
• Mood stabilizers, such
as carbamazepine (Tegretol), lamot
rigine (Lamictal), lithium,
or valproate (Depakote)
CONTINUED....
• Antipsychotic drugs, such
as olanzapine (Zyprexa),and quetiapine .
• Antidepressants
• Antidepressant-antipsychotic drugs, a
combination of an antidepressant and a
mood stabilizer
• Anti-anxiety medications or sleep medicines,
such as sedatives like benzodiazepines
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy, or "talk therapy," is often
recommended, too. There are several
different types. Options can include:
• Cognitive behavioral therapy
(CBT). This helps you replace bad
habits and actions with more positive
alternatives. It also can help you learn
to manage stress and other negative
triggers.
CONTINUED......
• Psychoeducation. Learning more
and teaching family members about
bipolar disorder can help give you
support when episodes happen.
• Family-focused therapy. This sets
up a support system to help with
treatment and helps your loved ones
recognize the beginning of an
episode.
CONTINUED.....
Other treatment options for
bipolar disorder can include:
• Electroconvulsive therapy
(ECT).
