Home ADHD Amazing Bipolar Disorder ... Contact Me Doctor Z Welcome! My name is Scott Zentner, aka "Doctor Z" to my patients. I'm a board-certified psychiatrist in Monroe, Louisiana, which also happens to be my hometown. Now then, what can you expect from this site? Periodically, I'll write a column about a particularly controversial psychiatric diagnosis, with my insights related to evaluation and treatment issues. Occasionally, I may also offer commentary about a subject peripherally related to psychiatry, or throw in a mind teaser or two for boredom relief. Finally, I've included some of my favorite mental health links, which I think you'll find both informative and humorous. By the way...If in need of a quick self-hypnosis session, concentrate on one of the flying boxes in the top left-hand corner of this page for about 30 seconds. Next, close your eyes and think reassuring thoughts for another half-minute or so. And then, open your eyes to a better world. In closing, my goal is that this site will allow us an opportunity to share clinical experiences and ideas, through candid discussion, that will serve to lessen rather than enhance the contentiousness that exists in psychiatry today. I welcome your questions and comments.

PESSAR, M.D. State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York A patient information handout on bipolar disorder, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1357. This article exemplifies the AAFP 2000 Annual Clinical Focus on mental health. Bipolar disorder most commonly is diagnosed in persons between 18 and 24 years of age. The clinical presentations of this disorder are broad and include mania, hypomania and psychosis. Frequently associated comorbid conditions include substance abuse and anxiety disorders. Patients with acute mania must be evaluated urgently. Effective mood stabilizers include lithium, valproic acid and carbamazepine. A comprehensive management program, including collaboration between the patient's family physician and psychiatrist, should be implemented to optimize medical care. (Am Fam Physician 2000;62:1343-53, 1357-8.) B ipolar disorder is characterized by variations in mood, from elation and/or irritability to depression. This disorder can cause major disruptions in family, social and occupational life. Bipolar I disorder is defined as episodes of full mania alternating with episodes of major depression. Patients with mania often exhibit disregard for danger and engage in high-risk behaviors such as promiscuous sexual activity, increased spending, violence, substance abuse and driving while intoxicated.

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. Different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe. They can result in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. But there is good news: bipolar disorder can be treated, and people with this illness can lead full and productive lives. More than 2 million American adults, or about 1 percent of the population age 18 and older in any given year, have bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder typically develops in late adolescence or early adulthood. However, some people have their first symptoms during childhood, and some develop them late in life. It is often not recognized as an illness, and people may suffer for years before it is properly diagnosed and treated. Like diabetes or heart disease, bipolar disorder is a long-term illness that must be carefully managed throughout a person's life.

Home-Index A Rest Stop From Depression and Thoughts of Suicide Bipolar Disorder Tempering the Mania of Manic Depression by Stephen L. Bernhardt Bipolar Disorder - episodes of mania. Any discussion of the process of bipolar disorder and mania cannot be entirely divorced from a discussion of the depressive response. Within any episode of mania lurks the possibility, the likelihood of impending depression. There are certain techniques and exercises which I have identified while dealing with my own periods of bipolar disorder mania which help temper the mania and thereby lessen the impact and severity of the subsequent depressive response. It is essential that you have read my article on Emotional Thought Stopping and are familiar with the concept and my suggestions for its use, before you attempt this exercise. I assume that if you are reading this in order to help temper your periods of bipolar disorder mania that this is not your first episode. Look back at your previous situation just prior to those episodes and see if you can identify if there was some event which triggered the episode and begin to identify how you felt at the start of the episode. It is important to be able to recognize these periods as early as possible so that you can begin this tempering exercise before it reaches a crisis stage. This is especially true if you begin your episodes with a euphoric feeling.

A bipolar mood disturbance involves a fluctuation of at least two mood states, for a prolonged period of time (at least 4 days).

Also, a Bipolar Disorder should never be diagnosed unless the mood shifts are causing significant impairment in an individual's daily life or the mood shifts are extremely apparent to others.

Reclaiming your power during medication appointments with your psychiatrist CAUTION Using antidepressant medication to treat depression in a person who has bipolar disorder may induce manic symptoms if it is taken without a mood stabilizer. In addition, using stimulant medications to treat ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms in a child with bipolar disorder may worsen manic symptoms. While it can be hard to determine which young patients will become manic, there is a greater likelihood among children and adolescents who have a family history of bipolar disorder. If manic symptoms develop or markedly worsen during antidepressant or stimulant use, a physician should be consulted immediately, and diagnosis and treatment for bipolar disorder should be considered.
