Biploar Disorder

What is Bipolar Disorder ?

Bipolar Disorder is a state of manic depression. This is also called as bipolar affective disorder.

This is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. If this disease is left untreated it may lead to suicide.

Bipolar disorder starts to develop in a individual’s late teens or early adult years. At least half of all cases start before age 25. Some people have their first symptoms during childhood, while others may develop symptoms late in life.

Causes of Bipolar Disorder

It is not possible to point out specific cause for this. The reasons may include the daily living environment or from the persons we have relationship with.

Biochemical factors: This is also due to the unexpected physical changes in Brain. There are brain chemicals called Neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are tied to mood. Scientists believe these chemicals also can cause this disorder.

Genes: Bipolar disorder may also happen due to the heredity problems by the transfer of genes to the offspring’s. So it Is a genetic disorder too.

Environment: Environment also is thought to play a causal role in some way. Environmental causes may include problems with self-esteem, significant loss or high stress.

Preventing Bipolar disorder

There is no proper way to prevent this disease. One should take care of his mental health. Treatment in earlier stage of symptoms will reduce the risk of getting manic depression.

Treatment for Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder normally requires life long treatment. Even in the course of the treatment you may feel good. But it is still recommended to continue the treatment.

Medications for Bipolar Disorder

Medications are the important treatment for Bipolar disorder. Medications for Bipolar disorder can cause serious side effects. But the side effects are not in the majority case. They are observed rarely.

Mood stabilizers

Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) is used as major mood stabilizer in the treatment. This help in keeping the mood in

control so that it will not swing between depression and mania. Consulting your doctor is recommended before taking medication and continuing it.

Anti-seizure medications

Medicines, such as valproic acid (Depakene), divalproex (Depakote) and lamotrigine (Lamictal), are widely used as mood regulators. These are also called as anticonvulsants.

Antidepressants

Use of antidepressants in bipolar disorder, although once common, is now controversial.Cognitive behavioral therapy

Psychotherapy for Bipolar Disorder

The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy is identifying unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replacing them with healthy, positive ones.

Family therapy

Family therapy involves you and your family members. Family therapy can help identify and reduce stress within your family. It can help your family improve its communication style and problem-solving skills and resolve conflicts.

Group therapy

Group therapy provides a forum to communicate with and learn from others in a similar situation. It may also help build better relationship skills.

Who is God, Where is God,Finding God

Hey visitors, thanks for your continuous support for Neuronring.com !!

Who is God ?

Are you really getting angry on me when seeing this topic ! Yes i know the reason for your rage.
It is the age of the earth where our fellow humans indulge in activities of  “Showing God, Talking with God, Mediator of God, I am the God… etc.,” lol.. ha.. ha.. ha… :-)

So don’t worry i am not going to burn all your beliefs. I am just giving my views without disturbing your spiritual beliefs.

Picture of God

Picture of God ?

Different Names of GOD

Well, God is so called using different names arround the world such as Allah, Jesus, Shiva, Bhagwan etc., But he is “ONE”.

Let me explain this using a simple example.

Assume you are a father and you have 4 children. How they will call you.

Kid 1 calls you Papa, Kid 2 calls you as Daddy, Kid 3 calls you lovely as Pops. But you are the same person right? Now i cant say that “Like the same way God is ONE” because you will not agrees with me. But it is my faith.

People from every Religion believe in God  and named him according to their forefathers and holy books and preachings. O.K. lets stop discussing about religious beliefs and concentrate on our business.

Finding God….

Waiting for a revolutionary answer ? Stop your imaginations and “Look at your Palm“. Are there numerous long and short lines running through the palm and colliding with each other? What  are they, we call them as hand prints and finger prints.

In Search of God

In Search of God

How come it is not similar to any two persons in the earth. How did they came ? How many combinations of finger prints possible from the day human race evolved ? Who sketched up this finger print project on Humans. It is a “Super Power” (may be nature). We call it (him) as GOD.

Amazing finger prints

Amazing finger prints

Where is God ?

Are you very bored by reading series of questions ? (Ah… infact this is also a question :-(   ) But the only way you can realise your own and God is  by asking questions to yourself, continuous questions.

Athesits say “GOD IS NOWHERE” but i redefine the phrase “GOD IS NOW HERE”.  Yes, God (no need to call him as ‘God’ , just a master of everyting)  is everywhere. You need proof ?

God is in the form of Seeds

Did u observe seeds ? Do you think they have life ? Definitely,May be. Until they are buried inside the soil they don’t have life. Once the water is supplied and soil gives all the nutrition BOOM !!!!! what happened ?????

God inside seeds ?

God inside seeds ?

The seed is now a Child Plant (of course  a living organism !!!!)… gradually into a giagantic tree…. Great formula of nature. But who is the programmer?

God living in plants ?

God living in plants ?

The Human Brain Program

We are proud to say as Human Beings, we have that much of excellent knowledge. But the knowledge is absolutely from The Brain (just 1. 3 kg weighing part of the body). You cant refuse this.

Why does this amazing, extraordinary, excellent human scientsts still not able to give a sketch or map about the complete Brain function. So who programmed our brain ?

We got defeated !! Find the programmer of The Human Brain.

Exciting  DNA code

Do you know that each cell in our body is programmed in advance with perfect calculation. Like in Computers they operate using programs written in “Binary Codes”.  010001110100011

Binary codes in computer

Binary codes in computer

The human body functions with same codes in DNA “CGTGTGACTCGCTCCTGAT” and so on.
A- Adenine, T – Thymine,  G – Guanine and C- Cytosine . If even  a single letter is mislocated the whole functionality of body will be degraded.

DNA code in every cell of human body

DNA code in every cell of human body

Do you think this perfect system is designed without a master ? It came just like jumping from sky or popped out from soil?

So God is EVERYWHERE. I am stressing again you need not call it/him as God. Mean it in your own way.

Finding God

You are now ready to shoot out questions on me. Yes, it is absolutely your turn. You are going to ask  “If God is such a person, why can’t we see him, feel him?”. Tough question but appreciable.

There certain things in the world which can be enjoyed only by selected sense organs.

 For example If you eat Chocolate, its tatse and sweetness can be felt only by tongue by tasting it. You cannot come ask me to show you how the taste of chocolate will be. It should be enjoyed by you.

NOT SATISFIED WITH THE EXPLANATION ? If so write to me: gopi@neuronring.com. I can solve your doubts.

Feeling GOD

Feeling GOD

Steps to feel Divine power.

1. Find a calm and pleasent place in your surrounding and sit straight.
2. Close your eyes (don’t sleep)
3. Listen to your heart beat.
4. Listen to your respiration.
5. Listen to the taste buds in your tongue.
6. Detach your concentration from the outside world.

Thats it you are now in the perfect track of feeling the power within  you.
