"Bipolar disorder (previously known as manic depression) is a psychiatric diagnostic category describing a class of mood disorders in which the person experiences clinical depression and/or mania, hypomania, and/or mixed states. The disorder can cause great distress among those afflicted and those living with them. Left untreated, bipolar disorder can be a disabling condition, with a high risk of death through suicide."
"The difference between bipolar disorder and unipolar disorder (also called major depression) is that bipolar disorder involves both elevated and depressive mood states. The duration and intensity of mood states varies widely among people with BiPolar disorder. Fluctuating from one mood state to the next is called "cycling". Mood swings can cause impairment or improved functioning depending on their direction (up or down) and severity (mild to severe). There can be changes in one's energy level, sleep pattern, activity level, social rhythms and cognitive functioning. Some people with Bipolar disorder may have difficulty functioning during these times."

Please save me a headache but the recent post, "Non Non-Fiction" produces a "Page Not Found."
ReplyDeleteIs this some sort of purposeful play on words?
Headaches. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteFor those who have never had a migraine, I can personally attest to the fact that no part of post-op, open-heart surgery comes even close to its pain.
I'm not a bit surprised to learn there's a possible connection to my bipolar disorder.
For the record, I did not know about your poll. But I am a definite 'suffers headaches Less' person. That was one of the only positive side effects I could think of with Bipolar, because I realized I never have headaches. For what its worth.:)
