Your teenager suddenly starts getting sad, is this him or is he bi-polar? It’s hard to say because bi-polar disorder isn’t something you can physically test for. Sadly, a diagnosis of bi-polar disorder is nothing more than an opinion given by a mental health professional. It is the same with lack of attention disorders or schizophrenia or depression. Almost all mental disorders are thought rather than reality, which lead to problems when parents parents before the child it seems. have some problems.
As someone who has been diagnosed as bi-polar and has known many other people similarly diagnosed, I cannot in all honesty tell you whether or not your child has the disorder. What I can do is give you some ways that you won’t find anywhere else.
Mood swings. Obviously the first sign that something is wrong, but clearly not the only way to diagnose . Capsule modes are the most common in teenagers, so what separates the type of oscillation modes that are considered normal from those that are bi-polar? In some instances, the difference is very small, especially if the way you experience the recurrence has a root cause that is not biologically based. For example, almost all children who are or have been abused develop extensive mood swings. So do children who experience other emotional trauma, such as the death of a loved one or a family breakup. Also, there are some children who go through abnormal hormonal development phases that also show wide mood swings. Capsule moods are one of the symptoms of bi-polar disorder. It is better to exclude other things if possible, otherwise you may mistakenly remove your child with a difficult label.
Self destructive behavior belongs to the teen years. Driving too fast, taking drugs, hanging out with creepy friends. He tried to make him aware of death. It is clear that it is impossible to base a diagnosis of bi-polar disorder solely on the child’s destructive or anti-social behavior. Likewise, there are some children who do not engage in destructive behavior who have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. It depends on the child, the home environment and other mitigating factors.
Tear away. Another lesser known symptoms of bi-polar disorder withdrawing from to others and in this fact, he immersed himself more. This does not necessarily mean becoming a loner, although many people with bi-polar disorder do, it means that even though they have friends or acquaintances, they tend to feel like they are alone or alone even with them. This generally applies to the family as well, depending on how close the family is.
Feelings of helplessness. Often times, someone who is bi-polar will describe feeling like they have a hole inside of them that they can’t fill. as if something were missing inside. Something emotional. Something they once felt or knew in their heart to feel, but did not. Or he can’t. With this feeling there is a great desire to fill that hole. This longing often leads to barbaric or destructive behavior as the person seeks to fill that hole.
A lack of empathy for others. Another symptom of general bi-polar disorder is an inability to feel the pain or frustration of others. Some lack consciousness, others have a less honorable name. While it may or may not be true that the person with the disorder feels some truth or guilt. of their actions, which is an important indicator if you are a parent trying to figure out what is going on with your child. As with other symptoms, there are many other reasons why a child may not show concern for other people’s feelings.
You remember that one thing. If a child is suffering from a stress disorder, there are indeed pains. While they may seem happy or even euphoric when they worry you in ways they behave, when in a manic period, depressing pain may feel unlike ordinary depression. It is a tear, a dissection, an almost incalculable emotional trauma that can devastate even the strongest of people.
Every child is different, just like every adult. If you suspect that your child may be bipolar, consider all of their activities as a whole. Usually one such indication is that it is light enough. The images should be broad, such as mood swings that seem higher and lower than your average teenager and self-destructive behavior that seems to be out of your child’s control. Or it could not be quiet and not even for a long time, especially when something important was seen in the battle itself, as the event was already looking.
It is also important to get your opinion. Do they see themselves as strangers or different? Do they think there is something wrong with them? Do you see a tendency to help? Do they describe themselves as miserable?
The purpose of this article is to help those who think their child is bipolar. There is no way to put it. If you find yourself nodding off after reading this article you may want to do some more research. It has been my experience that it is usually best if you and your child come to some kind of agreement before seeing a mental health professional. Unless you are very lucky, the diagnosis will be made and the interventions prescribed before the real case psychiatrist will pay attention to your child’s condition.
I hope it is not a diagnosis for you and your children. I would not wish my polar condition on my worst enemies. Maybe it’s just something they’ll grow out of. Good bye.
