correct answers, Already graded A)
Bipolar disorder (BD)
Chronic condition characterized by extreme fluctuations in mood, energy, and ability to function
-Moods may be manic, hypomanic, or depressed and may include mixed mood or psychotic
features
-many have only experienced only one manic episode in their lifetime
-Mood fluctuations may be separated by periods of high stability or may cycle rapidly
-diagnosed when a client has one or more episodes of mania or hypomania with a history of one
or more major depressive episodes
-high risk for suicide
Mania
Characterized by a persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood. Related symptoms may
include inflated self-esteem, increased goal-directed activity or energy, including grandiosity,
decreased need for sleep, excessive talkativeness, racing thoughts, flight of ideas (FOI),
distractibility, psychomotor agitation, and a propensity to be involved in high-risk activities.
Mania leads to significant functional impairment and may include psychotic features or
necessitate hospitalization
Bipolar Type I:
Requires at least one episode of mania for at least one week (or any duration if hospitalization
due to symptoms is required)
,Bipolar Type II:
Diagnosis requires a current or past hypomanic episode and a current or past major depressive
episode. Symptoms last for at least 4 days but fewer than seven.
-Hypomanic symptoms are not of sufficient duration or severity to cause significant functional
impairment, psychosis, or hospitalization.
-Anger and irritability are common.
-Clients often enjoy the elevation of mood and are reluctant to report these symptoms, making
bipolar more difficult to diagnose if the client presents in the depression phase.
Cyclothymic:
Involves the chronic presentation of hypomanic and depressive symptoms that do not meet the
diagnostic criteria for a major depressive or manic/hypomanic episode.
If bipolar depression is mistaken for MDD:
Antidepressant therapy may precipitate a manic episode or induce rapid-cycling bipolar
depression
-may contribute to the increased incidence of death by suicide in children and adults younger
than 25
Antidepressants are used cautiously in clients with bipolar disorder and never as
