Bipolar disorder

The illness tends to be highly genetic, but there are clearly environmental factors that influences whether the illness is occur in a particular child. Bipolar disorder can skip generations and take different in different individuals.

The small group of studies that have been done vary in the estimate of the risk to a given individual. For the general population a conservative estimate individual’s risk of having full-bloom bipolar disorder one percent. Disorder in the bipolar spectrum may affect 4-6%, who one parent has bipolar disorder, the risk to each child is 15-30%, when both parents have bipolar disorder, the risk increases to 50-75%. The risk in siblings and fraternal twins is 15-25%, and the risk of identical twins is approximately 70%.

Bipolar disorder is classified into two, the bipolar I and the bipolar II. The bipolar I disorder in which individual may experience one or more manic episodes or mixed episodes. During a manic episode must be present to a significant degree. Impairment in various of functioning, psychotic symptoms, and the possibility of self-harm exist.

6. Pre-Morbid Personality Assessment

During our interaction with the patient, he seems to be kind to us and eager to answer our question. He does not hesitate to answer although we ask about his personal life. We also noticed his kindness during the session. We almost think that we are talking to a normal person. In addition, he possesses silence quite some time as he is thinking something that we do not ask.

7. Course in the Ward

Exploring

Broad openings

Encouraging description of perception

When client deals with topic superficially, exploring can help them examine the issue more fully.

Make explicit that the client has the lead in the interaction. For the client who is hesitate about talking, broad opening may stimulates him or her to take the initiative.

To understand the client. The nurse must see things from his perspective. Encouraging the client to describe the ideas fully may relieve the tension the client is feeling, and he might not be less likely to take action or ideas that are harmful or frightening.

E. Conclusion / Recommendation

As a conclusion, bipolar is a serious mental disorder that could lead to

serious of harmful situation or even complications that they could be manic

or depressed. According to the stimuli, that they encounter this disorder

needs careful handling and attentive support emotionally, because they could

be lacking from emotional support or attention from immediate family. Like

our client with the help also of other mental personnel. These mental

institution patient can be managed well and be free from the said disorder.
