Bipolar affective disorder - what does this mean

Bipolar affective disorder is a mental health disorder that is characterized by extreme mood swings, from episodes of extreme highs (manic episodes) to extreme lows (depressive episodes). these episodes can last for days or weeks and can significantly affect a person's ability to function in day-to-day life.

What happens during the disease - bipolar affective disorder

Существует большое количество теорий и гипотез возникновения заболевания. На сегодняшний день известно, что возникновение депрессии имеет связь с нарушением обмена ряда моноаминов и биоритмов (циклов сон-бодрствование), а также с дисфункцией тормозных систем коры мозга. Помимо прочего существуют данные об участии норадреналина, серотонина, дофамина, ацетилхолина и ГАМК в патогенезе развития депрессивных состояний.

Причины возникновения маниакальных фаз БАР кроются в повышенном тонусе симпатической нервной системы, гиперфункции щитовидной железы и гипофиза.На рисунке, расположенном ниже, можно увидеть кардинальное различие мозговой активности при маниакальной (А) и депрессивной (В) фазе БАР. Светлые (белые) зоны указывают на самые активные участки головного мозга, а синие, соответственно, наоборот.
