Bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) is a mental illness characterized by alternating periods of mania and depression.

This video features a psychiatrist explaining what bipolar disorder is, the characteristics of manic, hypomanic, and depressive episodes, symptoms such as delusions, and factors thought to be related to its onset.

It also covers drug therapy using lithium, valproic acid, lamotrigine, and antipsychotics, as well as side effects and relapse prevention.

In bipolar disorder, differentiation and co-occurrence with developmental disorders such as ADHD and ASD, personality disorders, and trauma can be challenging. It's crucial to consider not only the symptoms but also the underlying difficulties the individual is facing.

Treatment involves not only medication but also disease education, counseling, lifestyle adjustments, and access to welfare programs.

In particular, the fluctuations between manic and depressive episodes can lead to feelings of "not knowing one's true self" and significantly impact work and family relationships. Support for partners, family, and children is also discussed.


For those who want to learn about bipolar disorder, including those affected, their families, and supporters, please refer to this information.
