BIPOLAR DISORDER

With regards to the case of our client, he acquired his stress from stressful things that
happen in his life. From this, then. Neurochemical abnormalities have been implicated as
contributing to the development of BD. Specifically, a paucity of the "inhibitory" neuro-
transmitter  -aminobutyric acid, or GABA which is responsible for digression of neuronal
stimulation , and elevated levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine which is responsible for
overall activities and mood and dopamine which is responsible for fine movements and balance
at the synapses between neurons in the brain’s limbic system—which regulates mood and
emotions—have been implicated as facilitating the excessive transmission of neuronal impulses
resulting in a manic episode. Meanwhile, inadequate levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin
which is responsible for sleep, heat, hunger and behavior, norepinephrine which is the chief
transmitter of sympathetic nervous system and  in dopamine have been identified as hindering
neuronal transmission resulting in a depressive episode.
PSYCHODYNAMIC

Above this paragraph is a photo that shows wave-represents of how bipolar mood
swings.Though there might be different kinds of Bipolar, from the psychodynamic perspective,
bipolar disorder may be seen as alternating dominance for the personality by the superego and
the ego. In the depressive phase of the disorder, the superego dominates, flooding the
individual with exaggerated ideas of wrongdoing and associated feelings of guilt and
worthlessness. After a while, the ego defends itself by rebounding and asserting supremacy,
accounting for the elation and self-confidence that in part characterize the manic phase. Later,
in response to the excessive display of ego, feelings of guilt return, again plunging the person
into depression.
