Bipolar disorder refers to a mental illness characterized by extremely low and high mood swings, as well as changes in thinking, sleep, behavior and mood. The primary symptoms of this disorder are hypomanic and manic episodes. The majority of people suffering from bipolar disorder also experience episodes of depression. Cyclothymic, bipolar I disorder and bipolar II disorder are the different types of bipolar disorders. The diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be done through conducting an interview, assessing lab tests and by performing a physical examination. Body scans and blood tests cannot detect bipolar disorder, but they can help rule out other conditions like hyperthyroidism that can resemble the disorder. Talk therapy, lifestyle changes, medication and other treatments can be helpful in managing this condition. Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT), family-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychoeducation are the various therapy options that can be used for treating bipolar disorder. This book contains a detailed explanation of the various diagnostic and therapeutic techniques associated with bipolar disorders. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
