How Does Ketamine Help People With Bipolar Disorder?
In case you, or perhaps a loved one, is suffering from bipolar depression, take into consideration the advantages and benefits of ketamine therapy when it comes to the treatment of your condition.
Are You Suffering From Bipolar Depression
WHAT CAN I DO AT HOME TO HELP MY BIPOLAR DISORDER
Understand the distinction between your symptoms and yourself — Doctors, therapists, or your healthcare provider can help you learn to separate your true identity from the way your symptoms may cause you to behave. You can set realistic goals about the behaviors you want to change and find a treatment that works for you.
Get your family involved in treatment — Your family (or close friends and other loved ones) can be educated to help spot symptoms, gain perspective on bipolar disorder, and manage symptoms. They can be important sources of feedback and support during your treatment.
Make healthy lifestyle choices — This includes staying physically active, getting enough sleep, eating a balanced and healthy diet, and avoiding risky behavior like alcohol or drug abuse.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Bipolar disorder can be divided into a few different types, each identified by a pattern of episodes of both mania and depression. Treatment and symptoms may differ based on which version of bipolar disorder you suffer from.
Bipolar I Disorder — Mania or Depression
The most typical form of bipolar disorder, Bipolar I disorder is also the most severe. Characterized by at least one manic episode, but the majority of people with this type of bipolar disorder also have had at least one major depressive episode.
Bipolar II Disorder — Hypomania or Depression
With bipolar II disorder, you will experience recurring episodes of major depression and hypomania, which is a milder form of mania. In order to get a bipolar II disorder diagnosis, you must have had at least one hypomanic and one major depressive episode each throughout your life. If you go on to have a manic episode, you can then be diagnosed with bipolar I disorder.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR DEPRESSION IS BIPOLAR DISORDER
- If you have had repeated major depressive episodes
- If your first major depressive episode was before the age of 25
- If you have blood relatives with bipolar disorder
- If you have high mood or energy levels when you are not depressed
- If you oversleep or overeat when you are depressed
- If your depressive episodes are short
- If you have lost contact with reality during a depressive episode
