Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes shifts in mood and energy levels, resulting in manic highs and depressive lows. It can be treated, but there is no cure. Symptoms include changes in sleep, activity levels, and risky behaviors during manic episodes or loss of interest and suicidal thoughts during depressive episodes. The causes are likely genetic and related to brain structure differences, though environment also plays a role. Effective treatment involves long-term medication and psychotherapy to control symptoms and prevent relapse.
This document discusses bipolar disorder, including its symptoms, diagnosis, types, risks, treatment, and effects on individuals. Bipolar disorder is characterized by periods of elevated mood and depression. It often begins appearing in early adulthood. Diagnosis involves evaluating family history and presence of symptoms over time. Treatment typically involves lithium or valproic acid, which can cause side effects like nausea, tremors, and weight gain. Individuals discuss experiencing manic episodes involving euphoria and risky behaviors, depressive episodes with suicidal thoughts, and difficulty with social relationships before receiving treatment and diagnosis.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by periods of depression and periods of mania or hypomania. During manic or hypomanic periods, people experience hyperactivity, impulsivity, and wildly optimistic or irritable moods. Depressive periods involve symptoms of major depression like difficulty concentrating and suicidal thoughts. Bipolar disorder can be difficult to diagnose and treatment often involves medication and therapy to help manage mood swings and related issues like anxiety or substance abuse. Living with bipolar disorder is challenging but possible to do successfully with proper treatment and lifestyle habits.
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by periods of depression and periods of abnormally elevated mood. During manic episodes, individuals may feel excessively happy or irritable with less need for sleep, racing thoughts, and increased energy. Depressive episodes involve symptoms like sadness, loss of energy, increased need for sleep, changes in appetite, and thoughts of death or suicide. The causes of bipolar disorder are thought to involve biological factors like changes in neurotransmitter levels, genetic predispositions, and environmental triggers that disrupt one's self-concept or ability to achieve their potential. The disorder is typically diagnosed based on a person's symptom history and impacts individuals worldwide regardless of gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.
Mood disorders are disturbances of emotions that affect many aspects of life. The three main types are depression, dysthymia, and bipolar disorder. Depression involves feeling sad for at least two weeks with symptoms like fatigue and guilt. Dysthymia is a chronic, milder form of depression lasting two years. Bipolar disorder causes alternating episodes of depression and mania, an elevated mood with increased energy. Treatment involves medication and psychotherapy, as finding an effective drug combination can take years due to side effects.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings from mania to depression. It affects about 0.6-0.9% of the population. While the exact cause is unknown, it is believed to involve genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include changes in mood and behavior during manic, depressive, hypomanic or mixed episodes. There are several types of bipolar disorder that are diagnosed based on the severity and length of episodes. Treatment involves medications, psychotherapy, and in some cases electroconvulsive therapy, with the goals of managing mood swings and preventing relapse. Proper long-term treatment can help people with bipolar disorder lead productive lives.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by periods of abnormally elevated mood (mania or hypomania) alternating with periods of depression.

Resources on mental health for students and professionals are also provided.
Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood and energy levels. It is characterized by periods of mania and depression. There are four main types of bipolar disorder defined by the severity and length of manic or depressive episodes. Bipolar disorder is caused by imbalances in brain chemistry and genetics, and often develops in late teens to early adulthood. Treatment involves mood stabilizing medications, antipsychotics, antidepressants, psychotherapy, and sometimes electroconvulsive therapy.
Bipolar disorder involves extreme shifts in mood between periods of mania and depression. During mania, one may feel euphoric, irritable, have racing thoughts and sleep very little. Depression brings feelings of hopelessness, guilt, and fatigue. Bipolar disorder has genetic and environmental triggers, and can be managed through medication and lifestyle changes like stress reduction and mood monitoring. Recovery is possible for many through treatment and self-management techniques.
The document discusses bipolar disorder, including its symptoms and potential biological causes. Bipolar disorder causes extreme shifts in mood from depression to mania. Studies show it can affect both adults and children. Possible biological causes include abnormal neurotransmitter levels and brain structure differences. Genetics also plays a role, as identical twins have a higher likelihood of both having the disorder. Effective treatment requires a combination of medication, typically lithium or antipsychotics, alongside psychotherapy. More research is still needed on therapy and determining the exact causes of bipolar disorder.

This presentation provides information about bipolar disorder for families and friends of those suffering from the illness. It aims to help audiences better understand the illness and how to support loved ones coping with it. Bipolar disorder causes people to experience symptoms of both depression and mania, including racing thoughts, hyperactivity, reckless behavior, and mood swings between feeling happy and sad. The presentation stresses the importance of medical treatment, therapy, and social support for recovery, as without continual love and support from networks, managing the illness long-term can be challenging.
Bipolar disorder is a mental condition characterized by extreme mood swings between mania and depression. During manic episodes, people with bipolar disorder experience elevated mood, decreased need for sleep, impulsivity, and increased activity or energy. Depressive episodes involve feelings of guilt, anxiety, and sadness that can last for days or weeks. There are four main types of bipolar disorder that are differentiated based on the severity and frequency of manic episodes. Genetics, biological traits like neurotransmitter imbalances, and environmental stressors can all potentially contribute to the development of bipolar disorder. Self-help strategies include establishing routines, getting enough sleep, avoiding drugs, and seeking help to manage symptoms.
Suffering from Major Depressive DisorderRachelVira
Major depressive disorder is a mood disorder characterized by persistent low moods and loss of interest in activities. Common symptoms include feelings of sadness, changes in appetite and sleep, low energy, and difficulty concentrating. Depression is caused by a combination of biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Treatments include antidepressant medication and psychotherapy. The document then provides a fictionalized account of a teenager's experience with depression including losing friends, headaches, quitting activities, thoughts of suicide, and treatment with therapy and medication.

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) se refieren a la unión de computadoras y comunicaciones que desataron una explosión de formas de comunicarse a comienzos de los años 90. Las TIC incluyen la Internet, que pasó de ser una red especializada a una de fácil uso que modificó las interacciones sociales. Las TIC tienen ventajas como permitir educación a distancia e impartir nuevos conocimientos, pero también desventajas como una distribución desigual de beneficios y falta de privacidad.
La arquitectura romana se caracterizó por edificaciones grandiosas y sólidas que han perdurado hasta nuestros días. Utilizaron columnas, bóvedas, arcos, pilastras y contrafuertes para cubrir grandes espacios de forma estable. Adoptaron y modificaron estilos griegos como las columnas corintias, y desarrollaron complejos sistemas decorativos escultóricos y geométricos.
La arquitectura egea se dividió en dos periodos: el Cretense o Minoico del siglo XX al XV a.C. y el Micénico del siglo XV al XII a.C. Emplearon arquitrabes rematados en terrazas, muros de mampostería y piedra recubiertos de enlucido, y pilares y columnas de madera policromada u otros materiales. Los palacios eran ciudades palaciegas sin arquitectura religiosa, situados en colinas con murallas de grandes bloques de piedra y ent

The document discusses bipolar disorder from the perspective of someone living with the condition. It describes the manic episodes which involve excessive energy, irritability, lack of sleep, and risky behaviors. Depressive episodes involve low energy, oversleeping, loss of interest in activities, feelings of hopelessness, and occasional suicidal thoughts. Bipolar disorder is caused by imbalances in neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin and often runs in families. Treatment involves medications like mood stabilizers as well as psychotherapy to develop coping strategies and regulate daily routines. While the condition causes emotional ups and downs, the individual sees themselves as more than just their illness.

This document provides information about bipolar disorder, including what it is, symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment. Some key points:
- Bipolar disorder is a serious brain illness characterized by extreme mood swings from mania to depression. These mood episodes can last weeks and impair functioning.
- Anyone can develop bipolar disorder, which often emerges in late teens/early adulthood. Genetics and brain abnormalities may contribute to causes.
- Symptoms include intense feelings of euphoria or sadness, changes in sleep, energy and behavior. Manic episodes involve hyperactivity and risk-taking while depressive episodes include loss of interest and thoughts of death.
- Treatment involves medication, therapy and lifestyle
Bipolar disorder involves extreme shifts in mood between periods of mania and depression. During mania, people may feel euphoric, irritable, have racing thoughts, sleep little, spend excessively, and engage in risky behaviors. Depression brings feelings of hopelessness, guilt, fatigue, changes in appetite and sleep, and suicidal thoughts. Bipolar disorder is thought to have genetic and environmental triggers and can be managed through medication and lifestyle changes to recognize and cope with mood shifts.
Misconceptions on Bipolar Disorder:
1. Bipolar disorder isn’t mood swings, they have cycles and episodes for weeks to months.
2. There is only 1 type of bipolar disorder. This is a common myth, but there are actually 7 types of bipolar disorder:
Bipolar 1: When a person experiences depressive episodes for more than 2 weeks and also experiences a sudden spike in mania.
Bipolar 2: Patients experience hypomania stage and depressive episodes.
Cyclothymic: Group of people in hypomania and mild-depression. For you to be in this group, you have to have at least 2 years of it.
Substances/medication that causes the disorder
Bipolar with mixed features: This is when you experienced mixed episodes. Like you experience depression and mania at the same time.
Bipolar with seasonal pattern: This is when a certain time or season affects your mood episodes.
Unspecified bipolar: this is when you don’t quite fit into any categories of the above.
3. It can be easily cured by diet and exercise. This is not quite true, currently there is no cure for this disorder, but diet and exercising does help to reduce the danger of it and it can also be well managed by getting the right treatment from the right expert.
Bipolar disorder also has episodes, these are the episodes and the signs of it:
1. Signs of manic episodes:
- Excessive happiness or hopefulness
- Rapid thoughts and speech
- Restlessness due to being to excessive
- Experience hallucinations and delusions.
2. Signs of hypomanic episodes:
- The signs of hypomania are the same as manic, but it isn’t severe and also does not last as long as manic (manic usually lasts a week or more, hypomania tends to last for a few days).
3. Signs of mild-depression:
- Hopelessness and anger
- Appetite and weight changes
- Insomnia
- Lack of motivation
- Reckless activities, like abusing drugs or alcohol
4. Signs of major depressive episodes:
- Overwhelming sadness
- It’s the same as mild-depressive, just like manic with hypomanic, it’s more severe.
Causes of bipolar disorder:
Doctors haven’t found the exact reasons to the illness, but research suggests these factors:
Genetics: people who have a family member contact with the disorder is more likely (about 10 more percent) to have it.
Chemical imbalance in the brain: Chemicals controlling the brain are neurotransmitters, noradrenaline, serotonin and dopamine. Any imbalance in 1 of those chemicals may create symptoms of bipolar disorder.
Triggers (over a period of time): stressful circumstances may trigger the symptoms of bipolar disorder. For example, childhood trauma, drugs and tough life events.

The document discusses one person's experience living with bipolar disorder. It describes some of the challenges they faced, such as extreme mood swings between mania and depression that impacted their social life and ability to work. After being diagnosed, they made lifestyle changes like reducing stress and attending therapy. While bipolar disorder continues to cause difficulties, the person has learned to manage their symptoms and pursue their goals and relationships.
Depression is a mood disorder that causes prolonged feelings of sadness, unhappiness, and misery. It has numerous contributing factors and symptoms including changes in appetite, sleep problems, lack of energy, feelings of worthlessness, and thoughts of death or suicide. Treatment involves medications like SSRIs and SNRIs as well as therapy, and recovery may take several months with risk of recurrence. Famous figures like Diana, Princess of Wales, J.K. Rowling, and Hugh Laurie have openly struggled with depression.
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by periods of extreme mood swings from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) to lows (depression). Symptoms include changes in sleep, energy, and behavior. It is a lifelong condition caused by genetic and environmental factors and is typically treated through a combination of medications and psychotherapy to manage mood swings and improve quality of life.
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings from manic highs to depressive lows. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and include episodes of mania, hypomania, depression, and mixed states that typically last for days to months.

This document provides information about bipolar disorder, including:
1) Bipolar disorder involves periods of elevated or irritable mood alternating with periods of depression, with abrupt mood swings between mania and depression.
2) Symptoms include dramatic shifts between overly energetic or irritable moods and sadness or hopelessness. Left untreated, it can damage relationships and impact work or school.
3) Bipolar disorder has genetic and environmental factors and is a biological brain disorder involving neurotransmitter dysfunction. While the exact causes are unknown, family history and life stressors can be triggers.
This document discusses bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression. It is a mental illness characterized by periods of depression and mania. There are different types of bipolar disorder defined by the severity and frequency of mood episodes. While the causes are unclear, it is thought to involve imbalances in brain chemicals and may be influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Diagnosis involves evaluating mood symptoms and ruling out other potential causes. Treatment includes mood stabilizing medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle management to control symptoms and minimize relapse.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Bipolar disorder
1.
2. A mental disorder characterized by periods
of elevated mood and periods of depression.
It effects the personality and chemical
reactions within the brain.
3. Mania: During this, a person feels or acts
abnormally happy, energetic, or irritable.
Makes poor decisions.
Depression: During this, there may be crying,
poor eye contact with others, and a very
negative outlook on life.
4. Bipolar Disorder begins to appear around the
early twenties in most people, but it can
appear as early as elementary school.
Bipolar disorder appears before age 20 in
about one in five manic individuals.
5. Using the DSM-IV, a mental health
professional will use signs and symptoms
including but not limited to family history
and presence of symptoms over time.
6. Bipolar 1 Disorder: The typically thought of
bipolar disorder which includes the severe
mood swings and symptoms mentioned
previously.
Bipolar 2 Disorder: A milder version of Bipolar
1 Disorder characterized by a milder version
of manic episodes.
7. Besides poor decision making and the effects
of depression, there is a high risk of suicide
(6%), and self harm occurs in 30-40% of those
affected.
Substance abuse disorder is very often
associated with it.
8. Anxiety disorder often accompanies Bipolar
Disorder due to its stressful nature and
consequences.
Substance Abuse Disorder often accompanies
Bipolar Disorder because the depressive and
manic states encourage substance abuse.
9. Though they cannot find a specific factor
that causes bipolar disorder, it is widely
known that bipolar disorder can run in
families.
This has been confirmed by twin studies
where there is a 70% chance that the other
twin also has the disorder.
10. From postmortem samples of those with
bipolar disorder we can see there was a
different concentration of chemicals than is
normally seen. It is not known exactly what
these chemicals do.
11. Lithium and Valproic acid have been the only
effective solutions but it is not known why
they work, only that they seem to reverse
the abnormal concentrations of chemicals
that were mentioned previously.
12. Many side effects of treatment of Bipolar
Disorder go away after just a few weeks of
treatment.
These side effects include, nausea, tremors,
hair loss, sexual problems, weight gain, liver
failure, abdominal pain, etc.
14. During my manic stages, I would go on large
spending sprees filled with happiness and a
feeling of euphoria.
During my stages, I sometimes used drugs or
alcohol. My favorite drug is cocaine. This
stage of my life lasts about 5 days at a time.
I always forget about my depression during
this stage.
15. I hate these stages, they make me feel as if I
were worthless. I have trouble getting out of
bed and I sometimes contemplate suicide.
Sometimes I also practice self-harm…
16. I guess this is what you would call the normal
stage or when I’m feeling normal like before
the disorder really set in.
The worst part about this stage is waiting for
the next stage to set in. The anxiety of the
next attack coming wears me down…
17. After my doctor formally diagnosed me, he
gave me something called lithium. He said
that it would help my brain counteract the
imbalance of chemicals.
18. The side effects of that drug made me
nauseas for the first few weeks and I gained
a lot of weight and had some abdominal
pain.
The treatment is starting to work more and
the side effects are starting to wear off.
19. Sometimes I’m still depressed but it is very
mild. It’s hard to tell between the different
mood swings and I finally feel normal after
years of treatment.
My shopping sprees have ended and I finally
feel normal.
20. Before I started my medication, I had lost most of
the friends I had before the disorder had started.
The manic stages annoyed my friends and I really
didn’t feel like hanging out with my old friends
when I got depressed.
After explaining to my friends what happened with
my disorder, they were very accepting and now, we
get along perfectly.
