Track 1: Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder also known as manic depression causes elevated levels of mood and sometimes leads to symptoms of psychosis. It even causes depression that may affect the person’s personal as well as professional life thus causing a disaster. The reasons for this disorder are generally not known but environmental and genetic factors do play a vital role. The environmental factors can be a history of childhood abuse and prone to depression. However genetic factors also have a role in bipolar disorder but in very few cases. The elevated levels of mood are generally characterized as mania or hypomania. It is not just one disease but includes subcategories such as Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymia, etc., referred to as Bipolar Spectrum Disorders. So, strict adherence to medications is necessary to help keep episodes to a minimum. The symptoms of mania can be as follows:

• Feeling happy for a very long period
• Decreased sleep
• Restlessness
• Easily distracted
• Engaging in risky behaviour, such as having impetuous sex, gambling, or excessive spending.

With the recent advances in Neuroimaging techniques, the biological factors that lead to Bipolar Disorder have been trying to uncover. The Number of abnormalities in amine neurotransmitters and critical signal transduction pathways has been observed in many findings.

Track 2: Types of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is associated with the episodes of mood swings that range from manic highs to depressive lows. There are several types of Bipolar disorder and all the type involves both the episodes of mania and depression.

• Bipolar I disorder: also known as manic depressive disorder or unipolar disorder. A person suffering from bipolar one must have one manic episode (a few weeks to a few months) in their lifetime. A manic episode is a period of highly or abnormally elevated mood and energy which results in abnormal behaviour. They also suffer from depression episodes that follow shortly after the severe manic episode and lasts for a few days. The manic episodes sometimes trigger a psychotic episode in which an individual lacks its ability to understand reality.
• Bipolar II Disorder: In this form of psychiatric disorder, an individual must have depressive episodes followed by hypomanic episode. Hypomania is an episode of elevated mood and behaviour. Though it is not as extreme as a manic episode, it is above the normal mood and behaviour. Bipolar II Disorder is mainly characterized by frequent depressive episodes and associated with a greater risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviour.
• Cyclothymia: It is a milder version of bipolar disorder that consists of cyclic mood swings. A person with a cyclothymic episode usually appears normal as they do not undergo any severe manic episode or major depression.
• Mixed episodes: In this condition, an individual simultaneously experiences characteristic of both mood poles- depression and mania- in a rapid sequence.
• Bipolar Spectrum: In this type of condition, a person experiences the characteristics of bipolar disorder along with the other types of mental disorders that involve depression or mood swings.

Track 3: Treatment of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is a mental disorder that causes the extreme change in the moods of an individual from being too excited (manic episode) to a depressed phase with the normal mood states in- between. Many pharmacological and psychotherapeutic techniques are already present for the treatment of the moods of the bipolar disorder, and also today, many researches are going on all around the world for exploring the new possibilities. The treatment commonly includes the psychotherapy (such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) as well as the Medications. Medications are an essential part of the treatment for Bipolar Disorder. This helps to keep the periods or the moods in balance enabling the person to live a normal life. They do not cure the disorder however helps to stabilize the condition.  Numbers of medication used to treat Bipolar Disorder. Some of them help to fight the manic episodes and others prevent the episodes of depression. As the medications for bipolar are very powerful drugs, it should always be taken according to the doctor’s recommendation for the given period of time. The abrupt withdraw of medicine without Doctor’s approval can be very dangerous.

• Mood Stabilizers (such as Lithium)

• Antipsychotics (Olanzapine)

• Antidepressant drugs

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Track 4: Psychiatry

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that deals with diagnosis, prevention and treatment of mental disorders, usually those requiring medication. The various behaviours, moods, cognition and perception which are harmfully adapted included in the mental disorders. The Interdisciplinary field of psychiatric research combines biological, social and psychological perspective of mental disorders in order to understand its nature and treatment. A psychiatrist is trained medical doctors and specialists who deal with these disorders and are qualified to assess both mental and physiological aspects of the psychiatric disorders. As they are physicians, they perform medical laboratory and psychological tests such as case history and mental status examination, evaluate and then work with patients to develop psychiatric treatment plans.

Mental Health is the psychological, emotional and social condition of somebody who is working at an acceptable level of passionate and behavioural change. It incorporates an individual's capability to understand life and create harmony between standard life exercises and endeavours to accomplish mental flexibility. It is essential at every part of life, starting with childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including:

• Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry
• Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse
• Family history of mental health problem

Half of the emotional well-being conditions begin by age fourteen and also the remainder of the conditions produce by age 24. More than 200 sorted types of mental illness conditions are available.

The World Health Organization has assessed that neuropsychiatric disorders and suicide represent 12.7% of the overall burden of illness. Major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, alcohol misuse, and obsessive-compulsive disorder account for 5 of the 10 leading causes of disability in underdeveloped and developing countries. In developed countries, dementia is the third most common neurocognitive disorder. Over the past many years the sciences have evolved so well that there are treatment and cure for almost all the disorders and diseases. Innovative treatments of mental health and psychiatric disorders have emerged in both private and public sector due to the expansion in research. Most treatment strategies for psychological illness can be categorized as either somatic (physical) or psychotherapeutic. Somatic treatments include drugs, electroconvulsive therapy, and other therapies that stimulate the brain Trans cranial. Psychotherapy, behaviour therapy techniques and hypnotherapy are the treatment methods included in Psychotherapeutic approach.

Keep your Mind healthy and Stress free at Work

Almost about 300 million people globally, suffer from mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse and many more mental illnesses due to negative work environment and work stress. This results into absenteeism and lost productivity.  

Tips to reduce stressful conditions:

• Do not work overtime unnecessarily
• Take necessary breaks
• Go for holidays
• Give time to your family and friends
• Allocate time to do the things you enjoy

Healthy brain with Mushrooms intake

It has been observed that eating mushrooms reduces the risk for mild cognitive impairment (M.C.I.), a type of memory impairment that is often a precursor of Alzheimer’s disease as it has a potential preventive measure to slow cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in the elderly. Some other age-related health conditions such as loss of short-term memory and visual recognition memory, seems to be supported effectively by adding the mushrooms in their food. An amino acid called ergothioneine (ET) that has been found in almost all the varieties of Mushrooms, is associated with this correlation. ET is a unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that we are unable to synthesize. The level of ET decreases with the age and results in cognitive dysfunction. Thus, it is advised to have mushroom intake in your food and thus, delay the onset of cognitive dysfunctions in later years. Some of the varieties of Mushroom with health benefits include Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, golden mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, white button mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and canned button mushrooms.
