If your mood swings from high to low inexplicably, then perhaps you may be bipolar. You could feel like Jack from Titanic in one minute , shouting to the heavens that you're the king of the world, then the next minute you feel like Jack from Titanic, dead from dispiriting frostbite and sleeping with the fishes. These highs and lows epitomizes the bipolar disorder perfectly, with behavior swinging back and forth from complete extremes in between several stages. Bipolar behavior is usually characterized with emotional inconsistency not seen since PMS. In any case, two particular stages of bipolar disorder happen the longest, and they're called mania and depression. Hypomania (either a burst of pure excitement and elation or, more rarer, a blunted feeling of apathy), also occurs, but is usually short-lived. During this time, the bipolar person is in his best behavior. Now, onto the main stages of this disorder. The behavior of a bipolar person during the stage of mania is just as the name suggests. The person is manic. The person is jittery and seems to feel no fatigue. A bipolar person in this state keeps constantly active, burning up the hours with countless activities, and taking no time to rest. What follows mania, naturally, is a burned out bipolar sufferer. From here, the next phase enters the fray, which is the stage of depression. Fatigued and exhausted, the bipolar person soon avoids all social contact, withdrawing into his shell. In the depressed state, the reclusive individual expresses loss of interest in sexual activity, shyness or social anxiety, irritability, anger, isolation and/or hopelessness, disturbances in sleep and appetite, fatigue and loss of interest in usually enjoyed activities; a gray rainbow of depressive emotions. After this down state, the person reverts back to the manic state. This cycle of behavior repeats itself till the person self-destructs. It often leads to suicide. Behavior like this should be identified as early as possible so that it can be treated and suicide can be prevented.                  Only registered users can write comments.
