  1. 3 Options for Bipolar Disorder Treatment

  2. There are certain individuals who experience bouts of extreme emotion, drastic change in sleep patterns and level of activity that is completely different from the typical range of behavior and emotions. • These symptoms are typical of those suffering from bipolar disorder or manic-depressive illness.

  3. Bipolar disorder is a disorder in the brain that results in extraordinary shifts in mood, levels of energy and activity, as well as the ability to do everyday routine tasks. • A person with bipolar disorder may have periods of extreme elation (manic episodes) and then bouts of intense sadness (depressive episodes).

  4. Since people who are struggling with this kind of disorder have difficulty coping and functioning with the regular demands and challenges of everyday life, it is important that they receive bipolar treatment immediately.

  5. There are several treatment options for people suffering from bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder treatment can include one or a combination of any of the following: • Medications • Psychotherapy • Alternative Treatment

  6. Medications • The patient needs to take different types of medication to help alleviate the various symptoms of bipolar disorder. • Some of the more common forms of medication for this purpose include mood stabilizers to help manage erratic mood swings; anticonvulsants and antipsychotic medicines to address manic episodes; and antidepressant medicines to help treat depressive symptoms.

  7. Psychotherapy • Various psychological therapies such as family-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and interpersonal therapy, have been proven effective in helping individuals with bipolar disorder, particularly if the same is carried out in combination with the right medication. • Psychotherapy not only helps the patient learn and manage the disorder but also encourages the involvement and support of family members in the treatment process.

  8. Alternative Treatment • Alternative forms of treatment include lifestyle changes – regular exercise, eating a well-balanced diet, and getting enough rest and sleep. • This treatment works to support and complement other forms of treatment such as medication and psychotherapy.

  9. The options indicated above are some of the more common bipolar treatment options available. • Unfortunately, bipolar disorder is a lifelong illness, which means it is critical that the patient undergoes continuous treatment to manage the symptoms and help him to fully function in society.
