My guest for this episode of Let's Talk Bipolar by @bipolar_uk, is Professor Ian Jones, a Professor of Psychiatry and Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist for the NHS.
Professor Ian Jones spent a number of years listening, as part of a Bipolar study, to those living with Bipolar and they picked up on a recurring clue that the process of choosing to carry a baby could be a huge trigger for the onset of Bipolar or the beginning of a period of being very unwell with Bipolar.
We talk about his area of speciality in perinatal & postpartum care and treatment for those living with Bipolar Disorder. In current day medicine professionals will be looking to support those wishing to carry a baby and how the risk of becoming unwell can be managed and supported through this season in life.
Ian Jones and his colleagues are running a Psycho education programme, which consists of 10 sessions in a peer group environment. The sessions cover; What is Bipolar? What do the labels mean? What causes Bipolar disorder? What are the treatments and understanding medications and treatments? self-management, monitoring, lifestyle and sleep patterns, which helps those living with Bipolar to learn how to live their best life whilst living with Bipolar.
Professor Ian Jones also talks us through what Bipolar is and some of the terminology that is used in the conversation of Bipolar. We talk about labels and diagnosis and how this can be helpful and unhelpful. Treating the patient as an individual in an ever-changing landscape and how it is essential that professionals should be re-visiting our diagnosis and reviewing regularly. We should be asking what is the evidence that this is still the most true and helpful diagnosis for the patient to continue to move forward in the best way.
