Bipolar Depression: The Research
In this episode we welcome back special guest Christine Ribbens Grimm with the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program out of the University of Michigan. We were honored to have Christine come back to the show to talk about bipolar depression, the differences of mood states, the possibility of suicidality, and treatment options. Often times people do not understand how depression can effect not only the emotional state, but the physical body as well. We also chat about many people with bipolar disorder may initially present with depressive symptoms that are challenging to treat, and if misdiagnosed can be hyperstimulated by medications that can reveal the underlying bipolar diagnosis.
What is Bipolar Disorder (from the Prechter Research Program website): Bipolar disorder is best described as a disorder of the energy of the brain. People with bipolar disorder experience unusual and intense changes in mood and behavior. There are two extremes in bipolar disorder: mania and depression. During a manic episode, people feel “up,” and may be much more energetic than usual. Mania is much more extreme than a sudden burst of energy or a good mood. Manic episodes may be associated with high-risk behaviors including substance abuse, sexual promiscuity, excessive spending, and even violence. During a depressive episode, people feel “down,” have low energy, and neglect obligations. Bipolar disorder often causes problems in work, school, and relationships and may require hospitalization.
