What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a name for cycles of
depression and mania - it is also called manic depression,
endogenous depression, cyclothemia and cyclic depression. These symptoms are
similar to a
systemic condition called identify conflict which can often be controlled with systemic coaching.
Bipolar disorder can be applied to an episode of
depression or mania, to recurring depressive episodes, or to a
cycle of depression and mania. Although bipolar symptoms are often
managed with medication, systemic coaching can also provide great assistance.
Bipolar disorder is often associated with entangled relationships,
trauma and emotional incest.

How is Bipolar Disorder diagnosed?
There are no medical or diagnostic tests - only human evaluations
that cannot be confirmed in a laboratory.
Symptoms of bipolar disorder may resemble some food allergies
and identity conflict.
A person with identity conflict often makes decisions or promises in one
persona, and forgets or denies those decisions and promises when the
other persona is active. Why Some People have Bipolar?
The symptoms of bipolar disorder are
often related to identity conflict, a consequence of
children coping with parental conflicts. See
emotional incest. A person showing
bipolar symptoms associated with identity conflict may express at least two identifications, and swing between them.
People with bipolar symptoms may have identified with two people
who are or were in conflict with each other. For
example, if one parent was depressed, and the other aggressive, a child may
attempt to show allegiance to both parents - throughout his or her life. If one parent was
frequently absent, missing or dead, a child perceives
the missing parent through the descriptions and reactions of the remaining parent. If the
remaining parent dislikes the missing parent, the remaining
parent may alienate the other parent, in the mind of the child.
Soulwork coaching can help prevent and control the consequences of Parental Alienation
(PAS)
Treatment of Bipolar Disorder
After diagnosing bipolar disorder, doctors
may prescribe medications to help people manage their emotions.
The most common medications prescribed for bipolar disorder are lithium
and Thorazine (chlorpromazine). Another treatment is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
Systemic coaching can help improve mood stability, with fewer hospitalizations
and better functioning. Side Effects of Lithium
Increased frequency of urination or lost bladder control
is more common in women than in men. Patients may experience increased
thirst; mild nausea and trembling of hands. Side Effects of Thorazine (Chlorpromazine)
Increased constipation; decreased sweating; dizziness;
drowsiness; dry mouth and congestion.
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
ECT is passing an electric current through the
brain to cause a convulsion. Electroshock is
generally used to treat patients with depression, mania
and schizophrenia, especially for people who do not respond
well to, or abreact to, psychotropic medications.
Side Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
Electrocution, brain damage, memory loss, increased
distractibility, difficulty with multiple tasks, trouble with arithmetic and
language, nausea and headaches are all associated with electroshock. Systemic Coaching & Bi-Polar Disorder
Systemic coaching and psychotherapy can help
support and guide people diagnosed with bipolar disorder to help improve stability
to live a more normal life. Soulwork coaching can help people with bipolar disorder
manage inappropriate thoughts and uncomfortable emotions.
Couple coaching and parent
coaching can reduce stress and the possibility of
emotional incest.
