Bipolar Polar

Beginning with the origins of the concept of mania—and the term maniac—in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, renowned psychiatrist David Healy examines how concepts of mental afflictions evolved as scientific breakthroughs established connections between brain function and mental illness. Healy recounts the changing definitions of mania through the centuries, explores the effects of new terminology and growing public awareness of the disease on culture and society, and examines the rise of psychotropic treatments and pharmacological marketing over the past four decades.

This compelling, heart-to-heart true story leaves its listeners inspired with a speechless sense of wonder. Bipolar Firsthand is a gift to humanity. People with manic depression are like the epicenter of an earthquake; no one nearby is left untouched. Living and breathing in this book, the author shines light on her soul's darkest hours and highest highs.

With a detailed analysis covering everything from etiology and pathophysiology to innovative therapeutic strategies, the work emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis and presents an accurate classification of subtypes according to DSM-5 and ICD-11 criteria. The discussion extends to neurobiological and psychological foundations, exploring the interplay of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors in the development of the disorder.

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes changes in an individual’s energy, behavior, sleep, judgment, mood, and ability to function. Individuals with bipolar disorder experience intense mood episodes that can include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When an individual’s mood shifts to mania or hypomania, they may feel full of energy, euphoric, and unusually irritable. However, when an individual becomes depressed, they often feel hopeless and sad and most often lose interest or pleasure in all activities.
