Hey guys Explain Bear here. Today we talking about the Causes of Bipolar Disorder.
There are many different studies that prove that bipolar disorder is a brain disease.
The metabolism in the brain of those affected does not function normally.
Errors occur in the processing of brain messengers.Brain messengers are dopamine,norepinephrine,serotonin and
(GABA amino acid).
The disease is not hereditary but susceptibility can be passed on. If one parent has the disease, the risk of the child developing the disease increases by 10 to 20%.
If both parents have it then even 50-60%.
During a bipolar episode, an altered activity in the limbic system of the brain was detected with the help of today's technical means. The limbic system is responsible, among other things, for the sensation and processing of feelings.
Due to a stressful life event such as severe trauma or abuse, bipolar disorder may follow.
Statistically, the seasons play a role in an illness. Manic episodes are more likely to occur in summer and depressive episodes are much more likely to occur in autumn.
