Bipolar disorder is just a disease between depression and mania. Compared with complete depression, mania is extremely excited and anxious, and the emotional transformation of bipolar patients is like riding a roller coaster.
When bipolar disorder attacks, manic patients seem to float up, look at everything from God's perspective and involuntarily sigh: "Ah, I am a genius." Shortly after the depression stage, patients immediately fell into extreme pain, pessimism and disappointment, feeling that everything was not good, and even felt that they were "useless."
Extended data:
Drugs can only improve the symptoms, treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, but only by excavating the personality foundation of one's illness, trying to change the unfavorable factors in one's personality and correcting the morbid thinking mode can the root cause of the disease be cut off. Suitable psychotherapy methods include Morita therapy, cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy. These are all very effective. Of course, medication should be controlled in the acute stage, and psychotherapy should be supplemented in the recovery stage.
Morita therapy's "endure pain and do what you want" and "normal appearance and healthy heart" are very effective in doing what you should do for symptoms. The more you avoid symptoms, the heavier it gets. Facing it directly and ignoring it will alleviate it. The fundamental control of depression should start with the change of outlook on life, values and personality, which is the direction of my future efforts.
