Visit BPHope.com to Learn about the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

BPHope.com is an online magazine dedicated to the hope and harmony for people with bipolar disorder. With a wide range of articles available on the topic, they also provide an online community forum for people to discuss first-hand what it’s like living with bipolar disorder. They’ve recently started a Kids category which is dedicated to helping children, teens, and their parents, manage bipolar in children and young adults.

The symptoms of bipolar disorder are discussed on the site, and include both depression and mania. When an individual is experiencing episodes of mania they feel an elevation in mood, increased irritability, high energy levels, and a decreased need for sleep. They may talk rapidly, and their thoughts and ideas run through their head even quicker. They have an inflated sense of self and what they can accomplish, and often projects are started that go unfinished. There may also be a string of reckless behavior and poor decisions are made.

When an individual with bipolar disorder experiences the depression side, they feel sad, have hardly any of that energy they felt while manic, have little or no motivation, lack desire for anything they previously enjoyed and are unusually fatigued.

People with bipolar disorder in general experience mood swings, a general discontent, euphoria, anxiety, anger, irritability, hopelessness, and a loss of interest. This is why BPHope.com is such an important resource for those not only with bipolar disorder, but also for their families. Read more about the symptoms of bipolar disorder, bipolar tests, and how bipolar disorder can affect relationships with family, friends, coworkers, while dating, spouses, children and parents, etc.

Some of the articles available on BPHope.com that relate to the symptoms of bipolar disorder include, “Opening the door on hypersexuality,” “Everything you ever wanted to know about bipolar depression,” “People with anxiety show fundamental differences in perception,” and several more. There are dozens of articles not just on the symptoms of bipolar disorder, but also on how to obtain a bipolar test, a section for children and teens with bipolar disorder, and more.

Symptoms to Recognize in Teenagers with Depression and Anxiety

Both anxiety and depression conditions can be improved, but more than 80% of the kids with anxiety disorder and 60% with depression are not getting proper treatment according to the Child Mind Institute Children’s Mental Health Report.  Anxiety is a normal phase of childhood and each child experiences it at some point. It is usually temporary and harmless, but children with an anxiety disorder experience nervousness, fear, and shyness, and they start isolating themselves socially and look for ways to not get involved in any kind of activity.  A child or a teenager who sees a scary movie and then has trouble in falling asleep can be comforted and reassured. But this is not the case for a child with anxiety; they don’t get past their fear and anxiety. Anxiety disorders affect about 1 in every 8 teenagers. Research shows those teenagers who do not seek help are at a higher risk to being socially isolated, will be more likely to perform poorly in academics, and will often en
