No bipolar affected person must be treated like he or she is insane or dangerous. Misconceptions still loom on mental illness that is present in most people. It just a matter of intensity. Shift moods, energy levels, and the daily routine could fluctuate amongst people with the bipolar disorder but they are far from being crazy or psychopath, as described by the National Institute of Mental Health.
The stigma behind mental illness discourages the fact that bipolar as an illness can be treated with proper care to oneself and from others. Nine out of 10 people with the condition are efficiently functioning on a day to day basis and are happy with the outcome of medicines regardless of the slight inconvenience caused by side effects.
Bipolar disorder is not a hindrance to having a stable job. People who have it should know how to balance things out to not suffer emotionally. Nando Pelusi, Ph.D., licensed clinical psychologist, wrote in Psychology Today since 2007 that properly administered medication combined with well-defined cognitive restructuring can help bipolar patients live well on the verge of getting ahead of others.
Medication and psychotherapy must go hand in hand to come up with the best possible treatment, Pelusi added. "Lost Marbles: Insights into My Life with Depression and Bipolar, as written by Natasha Tracy in September 2013 also attested that workplace problems occur only when taking care of oneself is overlooked and stress is allowed to dominate one's life - which is the same for everyone else.
Disney Channel star, Demi Lovato is a witness to this. Whenever she felt the urge of doing something that is eccentric, she has to distract herself. She has resorted to playing Zombarazzie Adventure to relax her mind and take her away from harmful or unhealthy thoughts, as published by People.
Understanding your needs, capacity, and limits can help not just bipolar people but also every human being in general. Never push yourself too far when feeling ill, confused or emotionally down. Take a rest and do something else that makes you feel better. No need to explain to anybody how depressed you are when it strikes. Just file a sick leave and treat it like common colds or flu.", according to attn.
