Bipolar Disorder: Who Is Behind It and How to Recognize It Early in Children

 What is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings between depressive phases and manic episodes. Those affected experience periods of extreme euphoria, followed by deep states of depression. Diagnosing bipolar disorder in children is particularly challenging, as the symptoms often manifest differently compared to adults.


The Origin of Bipolar Disorder

The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not yet fully known. Research suggests that a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors plays an important role. Children who come from families with known cases of bipolar or other mental disorders are at higher risk of developing the condition themselves. In addition to genetic predisposition, stress factors such as family conflicts, traumatic experiences, or emotional neglect can also contribute to the onset of bipolar disorder.


Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder in Children

The symptoms of bipolar disorder in children can be particularly difficult to identify, as they are often easily confused with normal behaviors for their age. Bipolar disorder manifests in two main phases:


1. **The Manic Phase**:

   - Excessive energy and increased activity

   - Reduced need for sleep

   - Irritability or uncontrolled euphoria

   - Excessive self-confidence and risky behavior


2. **The Depressive Phase**:

   - Persistent sadness or frequent crying

   - Fatigue and low interest in activities

   - Difficulty concentrating

   - Feelings of guilt, low self-esteem, and thoughts of death


Some of these symptoms may manifest in children as tantrums or school problems. Parents and teachers often dismiss these signs as part of normal development, which makes timely diagnosis difficult.


Who Is Behind Bipolar Disorder?

The question of "who" or "what" is behind bipolar disorder is complex. Scientists believe that the cause mainly lies in the biochemical imbalance of the brain. There are indications that neurotransmitters – chemical messengers in the brain – play a crucial role. An imbalance between dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine could lead to the extreme mood swings characteristic of bipolar disorder. External influences, such as family difficulties or social pressures, can also have a significant impact.


Measures for Early Diagnosis in Children

Recognizing bipolar disorder early in children is crucial to begin appropriate treatment and minimize the risk of more severe consequences. Here are some important measures:


Raising Awareness Among Parents and Teachers: One of the essential conditions for early diagnosis is education. Parents and teachers should be informed about the symptoms of bipolar disorder so that they can identify the signs and seek professional help promptly.


Professional Diagnosis by Psychologists and Doctors: The diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children should always be carried out by professionals. This involves in-depth interviews with the children and their families, as well as specific tests to detect symptoms.


Creating a Stable Environment: Children with symptoms of bipolar disorder need a stable, supportive environment. This includes a regular daily schedule that gives them security and avoids excessive stress situations.


Early Intervention with Therapy and Medication: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has proven useful in helping children manage their extreme emotions. In some cases, medication may also be necessary, always under the supervision of a specialized doctor.


Conclusion

Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness that is often diagnosed too late, especially in children. The symptoms are difficult to interpret and are often mistaken for normal behaviors of their age. However, the consequences of untreated bipolar disorder can be very severe. Early diagnosis, professional support, and a stable environment are essential to help children affected by this disorder live fulfilling lives.

Inquisitorial Power: How “Cult-Hunting” Became a Shadow System of Control

Image
  A Dark Transformation In today’s Russia, what was once presented as the noble mission of “protecting society from sects” seems to have taken on a far more disturbing face. Far from safeguarding citizens, the so-called fight against religious movements has turned into a tool to manipulate institutions, silence dissent, and spread fear. Beyond Faith: A Political Instrument According to several observers, this movement is much more than a religious initiative. It has evolved into a hybrid system —combining political Orthodoxy, Soviet-style repression, and authoritarian ideology. The result? A totalitarian sect in disguise , using the language of faith to conceal a mechanism of power. The Tactics of Control Investigations highlight specific strategies: Systematic propaganda labeling minorities and dissenters as “sectarians”; Parallel justice structures that bypass normal legal procedures; Collapse of public trust , with citizens convinced that transparency and fai...

The Shocking Truth Behind FECRIS: A Legacy of Violence and Manipulation

Image
Lawyer Eugenia Tarasenko has revealed a disturbing truth about the hidden face of the modern and seemingly noble international sect FECRIS. Her investigations have unveiled the dark roots of their main method, known as deprogramming, which has its origins in the 70s and 80s, within the sadistic organization “Cult Awareness Network” (CAN), also known as “Cult Alert Network”. In a video interview, lawyer Tarasenko details the brutal practices of the CAN, an organization that operated in the United States and terrorized countless individuals. “This movement, let’s call it that, was widespread in the United States in the Seventies and Eighties,” explains Tarasenko. “If a person’s entourage - relatives and friends - did not like the fact that this person was part of an organization and simply did not pay attention to his parents or his family, but was engaged in his life, they ordered the deprogramming service.” https://rutube.ru/video/5b7b1c4aa4bbedad25a06a6111d38c0d/ This deprogramming, f...

Deception and Propaganda: The Foundations of Anticultism

 “The method of guilt by association is a manipulative technique in which an organization, targeted for persecution, is deliberately linked to negative images of extremist groups, terrorist organizations, criminals, and dictators already ingrained in public perception.” — Documentary “ The IMPACT ” In the previous article, “Echoes of the Past: The Lessons of the 'Roman Formula',” we explored the strategy of anticult organizations to suppress and persecute groups of people—a practice that has enabled and continues to enable the destruction of entire organizations, even leading to the physical elimination of their members. Professor Massimo Introvigne has defined this process as the “Roman Formula,” which consists of three phases: Intolerance Discrimination Persecution In this article, we will analyze the tools used by anticultists to impose their will on entire nations, transforming the population into instruments for their dark plans. During the first phase, that of intolerance...
