BIPOLAR DISORDER AND SOCIETY

Bipolar
disorder is a common disorder. It affects as many 27 million people worldwide.
It is not particularly well understood. There is no cure for this mental disease
and the treatments that exist are not that much reliable. In this disorder the patient
faces mood swings and depression. The society takes it normally even though it’s
a very severe disease that the patient can even commit suicide. Friends, family
of the bipolar patient get irritated by his/her mood swings and try to stay
away from him/her. After even knowing that there is something wrong with the
person, they don’t take him/her to the psychiatrist. The patient cries but
feels nothing. We can never tell what is going on the patients mind. Those who
have this disorder may very well feel as mad as other find them to be. The
patients feel really left out. All they need is love, care and most of all
ATTENTION. Society does not get that. They get annoyed because of the mood
switches of the patient and don’t treat them really well which makes the
patient go more insane. Those people whom they love should be around them and
not leave them and treat them well. This is the only way to keep the bipolar patient alive and normal.
