In today's day and age having a mental disorder has created a stigma in society. In the recent years Bipolar has been said to be seen in 2.6 of the U.S. population who are over the age of eighteen. Bipolar has affected both men and women equally and has shortened the life span of the person by nine years. It is often heard by people that the term Bipolar is just used to describe a person whose personality switches between two poles. Although this is not completely wrong, this concept does not encompass the stages which lead to Bipolar and the biological effects on the individual's brain. It is misconception among many that Bipolar is a disorder that a person brings upon him or herself. It is disease just like any other caused by a problem in the brain. Although it's effects on the body don't appear visible to the human eye, it has just as much significance. Bipolar affects the integral centers of our brain and obstructs us from being able to think properly and make our own decisions. It is a state when an individual's brain has taken over it's sense of consciousness and starts to do things opposite of what they would normally do. In the upcoming posts, please look forward to learning more about Bipolar. Through this blog I hope I can erase the stigma that many individuals like yourself might have about the disease.
