When most people think of the disease Bipolar they don't realize that it is the result of six stages. The six stages determine in which stage on the spectrum , each person fits into. Rather than just creating a generalized term for someone who has been diagnosed with Bipolar, psychiatrists and psychologists use a six stage scale to find out where their patients are. This scale shows two integral parts to Bipolar: Depression and Mania.
In the first stage , the individual experiences extreme emotion changes which can either by classified as the beginning to depression or mania. In depression, one will most likely experience suicidal thoughts while in mania , the person is unable to control the state of their emotions.
In the management stage the mind tries to heal itself from losing control completely and is preventing itself from reaching the crisis stage.
In the recovery phase, the mind is recovering and trying to stabilize the state of emotions in depression and mania.
In the freedom stage , bipolar starts to get out of the conscious state and the manic and depression state return to functional states in increased strength.
Once the person is in the stage of stability , the individual is considered to be suffering from Bipolar disorder. In this state , the individual is unaware of his or her actions and does not sense a change in themselves.
Self- Mastery is the stage in which only a select few individuals are able to achieve. To attain a state of Self- Mastery, one must have complete patience and control of their mind and be able to prevent it from changing.
