Bipolar Teen:Bipolar Survival Guide For Teens - Heather Rose
Introduction
If left untreated Bipolar Disorder can cause the sufferer to have alternate periods of feeling depressed and lethargic to feeling excitable, restless and having difficulties sleeping. There has been much research carried out over the years relating to this illness however most of it has been focused mainly on adults rather than on teenagers. However in the past 10 years or so as more and more mental health professionals become aware that this is an illness that children and adolescents can suffer from so they are starting to do further research into it.
What these studies have now discovered is that approximately 1% of teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 years have this illness. Also what has been found is that the condition tends to be a lot more severe in children and teenagers than it is in adults. Plus if they do develop early onset bipolar they tend to suffer with a lot more symptoms and furthermore they have a greater resistance to any treatment provided.
One thing as parents of teenagers with bipolar disorder that you need to be aware of is that they are much more susceptible to self-injury as well as carrying out aggressive or impulsive acts. Plus they are also much more susceptible to substance abuse. Yet through the right sorts of treatment (psychotherapy and medication) you can help your child to deal with this illness more effectively.
Any teenager who is diagnosed with having bipolar disorder will suffer from a combination of manic (extremely high) and depressive (low) moods on a regular basis. Although there does tend to be some gap between when a manic or depressive episode occurs, in some teenagers there may be little or no gap at all.
Generally bipolar develops in most people in their adult lives before they have reached the age of 35. However although rare in children it can occur in some adolescents and can affect both boys and girls alike. Of course if either one of you has been diagnosed with having this particular illness then of course the chance of your child developing it also is much greater. In fact there is a 5 to 10% chance that should one or both of you have bipolar disorder then your child is at risk of developing it as well.
Also you need to be aware that should your child begin to develop this illness in the future the initial symptoms showing may vary. Some children will suffer a manic episode initially whilst others will suffer a depressive one. Of course you also need to be aware that some of the symptoms associated with this illness are actually the same as that come from other illnesses or disorders. In some cases you may find that your child doesn’t actually suffer from bipolar disorder but suffers from ADHD, schizophrenia or could be caused through them abusing substances such as alcohol or drugs. So before you try any course of treatment for your child to help them deal with their problems it is important that you seek out the right kind of diagnosis first.
Just like adults, teenagers with bipolar disorder can be effectively treated. Of course it is important that you make sure that your teenage son or daughter does continue with the course of medication prescribed as well as attend regular sessions with their psychotherapist. If they don’t then of course they are at
