Manic Depression Natural Treatment - Bipolar Depressive Manic

This is a situation that is characterized by extreme mood swings. The typical manic-depressive individual will go from a period of enthusiasm and elation to misery and the depths of depression. When he is in the depressive stage, he will demonstrate low self-esteem and have feelings of hopelessness. He will lack motivation to do anything, even to get out of bed. Some people in this stage sleep for weeks. They withdraw from social activities, avoid relationships with others, and are unable to work.
    When in the manic stage, the manic-depressive individual will have what seems to be boundless energy. he will not want to rest or sleep for twenty-four hours or more.
    The periods of mania start suddenly and without warning. They appear for no known reason and worsen rapidly. Some patients have these attacks frequently, and others have years between occurrences. Most people who suffer from this disorder seem relatively normal between stages. Approximately 3 percent of the population of the United States suffers from this disorder.
    Some of the symptoms of manic-depressive disorder are changes in sleep pattern, withdrawal from society, started with enthusiasm, chronic irritability, sudden attacks of rage, and lack of inhibition, especially in sexual behavior.
    There are several theories for the causes of this disorder. It may be triggered by extreme stress. Some researchers believe that early experiences, such as the loss of a parent or other early childhood trauma, play an important role in its cause. There is also evidence of increased concentration of intracellular sodium during these mood swings, which returns to normal after recovery. IN the depressed individual, monoamines are depleted in the brain.
