Types of bipolar disorder • There are a number of different types of bipolar and related disorders. • Bipolar I disorder • People with bipolar I disorder typically experience: • one or more manic episodes (extreme highs) lasting at least one week, as well as • depressive episodes, and • psychotic episodes. • With bipolar I disorder, episodes of mania are severe enough to interfere with day-to-day life. •• •• •• Bipolar II disorder • People with bipolar II disorder typically experience both hypomanic and depressive episodes. • A person with hypomania will experience similar symptoms to someone with mania, but less intensely. • Hypomania associated with bipolar II lasts only a few hours or days (rather than weeks of mania, as with bipolar I). Although bipolar II disorder has less severe symptoms than bipolar I disorder, it can be chronic (ongoing). • Depressive symptoms associated with bipolar II disorder are often more frequent and longer-lasting. ••• ••• ••• Cyclothymic disorder • Cyclothymic disorder is characterised by persistent and unpredictable changes in mood. The highs and lows are much less extreme than for bipolar I and II disorder, and the episodes are shorter. •••• •••• •••• Mixed episodes • Some people experience 'mixed episodes' – where they can feel some of the signs and symptoms of both depression and mania or hypomania. . . . #happyafricaorg #bipolar #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #bipolardisoder #mentalhealthmatters #bipolar #bipolarawareness #recovery #love #stress #blackandwhite #mentalhealthawerness #bipolardepression #bipolardisorder #therapy #purple #mentalhealthsupport #selfcare #trauma #bipolarsupport #selflove #art #support #endthestigma #health #mindmatters (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS_qRCZMIjM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Repost •@borderlineandbipolarjourney Awareness for Borderline personality disorder. @what.is.mental.illness Drop 💜💜💜 to raise awareness about Borderline Personality Disorder! You’ve probably saw and heard a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions about BPD from people you know or from the media. People with BPD face the struggles of the condition on a daily basis, and on top of that often experience stigma, discrimination, isolation and insults. Most of what’s written about BPD doesn’t sound overly positive with many being portrayed as manipulative, hopeless and dangerous, which is NOT TRUE AT ALL. BPD is still highly stigmatized so here’s a chart to help you know what BPD actually is! It’s important to note that not all people with BPD are the same. Just because you had a bad experience with someone with BPD doesn’t mean you’II have a bad experience with other people with BPD. 🤍 Source: Borderline in the act • • • #bipolardisorderawareness #bipolarawareness #bipolardisordertype1 #bipolardisordertype2 #bipolardepression #hypomania #mania #psychosisawareness #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #borderlinepersonalitydisorderawareness #mybpdlife #mybipolarlife #bipolartype1 #mentalillnessawareness #eupd #bipolartype2 #borderlineandbipolarjourney #trauma #emotionallyunstablepersonalitydisorder #eupd #depression #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters #eatingdisorderawareness #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #livingwithmentalillness #understanding #bipolarsupport #borderlinepersonalitydisorderrecovery #cptsd (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSlooY3syVU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Repost • @what.is.mental.illness Put a ❤️ in the comments if you can relate! #youarenotalone For those who don’t know, BPD is a mental health disorder characterized by an ongoing pattern of varying moods, self-image, and behavior. These symptoms often result in impulsive actions and problems in relationships. In the DSM-V, BPD is associated with nine symptoms, which you can read about below 👇🏼 👉🏼Fear of abandonment. 👉🏼Unstable relationships 👉🏼Unclear or shifting self-image 👉🏼Impulsive, self-destructive behaviors 👉🏼Self-harm 👉🏼Extreme emotional swings 👉🏼Chronic feelings of emptiness 👉🏼Explosive anger People with BPD experience a bunch of others symptoms that aren’t listed in the DSM-5 though. No matter what your symptoms looks like, you are not alone. The only way we can break the stigma surrounding BPD  is to talk about it and the symptoms associated. So here’s a list of the symptoms that aren’t talked about enough! _________________ #happyafricaorg #bpd #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthawareness #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalillness #bipolar #ptsd #borderline #recovery #mentalhealthmatters #bpdawareness #eupd #bpdrecovery #trauma #endthestigma #cptsd #ocd #bpdthings #selfcare #personalitydisorder #borderlinepersonality #selflove #therapy #bpdlife #bhfyp (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSfsG9VKF13/?utm_medium=tumblr
