Understanding and Managing Mood Extremes
Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that range from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) to lows (depression). These mood episodes can affect energy, behavior, sleep, thinking, and the ability to function in daily life.
During manic episodes, a person may feel unusually elated, energetic, talkative, or irritable. They may engage in risky behaviors, have racing thoughts, require little sleep, or feel overly confident. Hypomania, a milder form, may not impair functioning but is still noticeable to others.
In contrast, depressive episodes involve persistent sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, lack of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, and thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
Bipolar disorder typically begins in late adolescence or early adulthood, though it can appear earlier. It is a long-term condition but highly manageable with the right care.
Dr. Pradnya Kasar Jain specializes in the diagnosis and management of bipolar disorder. Her treatment approach includes:
Mood-stabilizing medications to reduce mood swings
Psychotherapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to build coping skills and improve emotional regulation
Psychoeducation for patients and families to recognize early warning signs
Lifestyle guidance to ensure regular sleep, nutrition, and stress management
Left untreated, bipolar disorder can significantly impair relationships, work performance, and quality of life. With personalized care, however, individuals can lead balanced and fulfilling lives.
Dr. Jain focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental space for patients while offering consistent support and follow-up care. Early intervention and long-term management are key to helping patients regain control and prevent relapses.
