Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder associated with intense changes in mood, behavior, and thinking, often abruptly and lasting from weeks to months. These swings change between a manic mood and a depressive. Shifts can be so intense they can interfere with day to day life, relationships, and productivity. Periods of swings that last as short as hours or even days are called “rapid cycling.” How severe the episodes are vary on a case to case basis. There are four categories of bipolarism distinguished by cause, symptoms, and duration. Depressive swings of bipolar are characterized by listlessness, loss of interest in daily activities, irritability, general hopelessness, lack of appetite, loss of motivation, and even suicidal thoughts. They share a lot with general depression disorder, thus the name ‘ depressive ’ swing. Manic moods are characterized by high energy, a sense of giddiness, increase in libido, insomnia, reckless behavior, and even a disconnect from reality. S...

Schizophrenia is a disorder of the brain’s ability to connect reality with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is a highly stigmatized disorder in society, rife with misunderstandings, such as the idea that those with schizophrenia are often perpetrators of violence when in actuality they are far more often the victims of violence and abuse. Though the diagnosis was found over a hundred years ago, the exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, though it is believed by scientists to be a mixture of genetics, environment, brain structure, exposure to certain viruses at an early age, recreational drug use, and certain factors during pregnancy.

As with most diseases, especially those of the mind, it is important t...

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a long-term disorder characterized by uncontrollable, reoccurring, and often intrusive thoughts and behaviors. While it is common for people to think of OCD as a higher need to have things organized or clean, it goes much farther than that. Where it is natural to check to make sure the door is locked or to wash your hands a second time before cooking is natural, those with OCD find themselves repeating the ‘just to make sure’ routine up to an illogical amount of times and are unable to help themselves. That, or the ‘ rituals ’ they perform have no reasonable connection to what they fear could happen should it not be done, like opening and closing a door a number of times or else their mother could get sick and die. ‘ Obsession ’ is when those thoughts reoccur and take control of the theater of one’s mind, and ‘ compulsion ’ is when the individual of said thoughts are forced to act upon them. These compulsive rituals are also very time-co...
