What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder, otherwise called manic depression, is a condition of the mind that comprises an abnormality in mood swings. Periods can range from extreme highs also known as mania, to deep lows or depressions.  

Causes of Bipolar Disorder

The causes of bipolar disorder are unknown. However, medical practitioners believe that genetic, biological, and environmental factors may be combined for this disorder. Some of these include:

• Genetics: Family history of Bipolar disorder or any mental health disorder
• Chemistry of the Brain: Neurotransmitter Imbalance, this is because these are chemicals that carry messages between brain cells
• Life Events: Stressful events may worsen symptoms or trigger
• Substance Abuse: Alcoholism and substance abuse will exacerbate symptoms of Bipolar disorder
