Bipolar Disorder Research

Bipolar disorder is also known under the previous name, manic depression, mental illness where someone apparently mood changes that occur in cycles that alternate between depression, mania and mood normal. In the United States more than two per cent of people known to suffer from these pellets, where thirty per cent of all psychiatric patients hospitilisations in his only years.

Psychiatrists and psychologists are not the real cause of bipolar disorder to date. Research has been progress in understanding the brain and how it works, the real causes of many mental disorders such as bipolar disorder. This disease is currently understood to be caused by many biological, emotional, physical and ecological reasons to incorporate.

It was discovered that some bipolar patients, the extra brain cells is a theory of a biological cause. Research shows that those with bipolar were thirty percent more brain cells send signals to other than normal. There is still speculation on whether the brain cells responsible for regulating our mood, our pleasure and our responses to stress responses.

The disorder seems to run in families, although some who are diagnosed have no family history of disease. This reflects the nature of heredity as a cause of this disease Mentallo, so genetics may actually cause one.

What has received much attention is the neurotransmitter system as a cause of bipolar disorder. For decades, researchers have demonstrated a link between neurotransmitters and mood disorders. A chemical imbalance in the brain of neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin, which is a high or low can this condition. When an imbalance between the levels of other neurotransmitters is leading to susceptibility or disease. This imbalance is also known for his inheritance.

Psychologists generally believe that biological factors that lead to a bipolar makes a person more sensitive, and only increases the chances of getting the disorder and the cause is not necessary. Once an individual is in situations such as environmental factors, a sudden tragedy or a difficult childhood, which could lead to disease, biological trends into action and develop bipolar. These triggers may be child abuse, rape, sexual abuse, a death in the family, who control, or living in an abusive environment. Cycling mood associated with bipolar disorder, works the same way. The triggers of emotional situations, environment, stress, or tragic circumstances of onset and depressive mood swings between manic episodes.

Alcohol and drug use is a cause of this disease, because the effects can cause mood swings. These cases are difficult for a physician to determine when the actual bipolar started, or before or after the abuse. When someone suffers from a mood disorder that may turn to alcohol or drugs to discard the bad feelings of those – that nothing can escape. Continued research is done at the answers and information that can be collected in areas such as genetics, neurology, psychiatry and psychology, so we can get more knowledge about all of the mental illness such as bipolar. Technology is always advancing so rapidly that may come to light, the answers to all these theories. Until then we wait for a response that best and most successful treatment is available, and perhaps even healing.
