The First Showing Of Bipolar Personality Disorder symptoms

The first showing of Bipolar Personality Disorder symptoms  often happens from childhood to early adult life. It is said that the average age at the first symptoms is 21. Also, more than 90% of people who experience their first Manic case continue to bear future cases. People who don't treat or manage their Bipolar Personalty Disorder usually experience around 10 cases of mania and depression in their lifetime. Early episodes often occur infrequently, but thereafter they become more frequent and more serious.

Although Bipolar Personality Disorder symptoms are reduced between manic cases, around 25% of the people suffering from Bipolar Personality Disorder continue to show mood imbalance or moderate depression. 60% experience social or occupational troubles between serious episodes. People with Bipolar Personality Disorder may also acquire psychotic symptoms. These psychotic symptoms in Bipolar Personality Disorder only happen during serious manic or depressive cases, or both together. In contrast, the psychotic symptoms in Schizophrenia can happen when there is no mania or depression.

Manic episodes usually begin suddenly and sometimes last for 2 weeks or up to 5 months. Depressive cases tend to go on longer than episodes of mania, some can go as long as 6 months but rarely for more than a year, except for some elderly cases.

It is wise to seek some form of help, whether self help of professional,  on your first episode of Bipolar Personality Disorder. Treating this disease early can help your chances of stopping recurring episodes.  Don't let this disorder bring problems into your life and affect your dreams and goals.
