Let's talk about-Bipolar Disorder castellano

By Carolina R., Constanza G., Valerie C., Lucía C. and Eloisa O.

In order to understand Bipolar Disorder, we made a brainstorming

session writing down all the questions about this disease that came

to our mind. Finally, we decided to go for three priority questions:

Why and how does the phase change occur? The disorder

changes something in your brain while you are having a phase?

And if it does, what is changed?Hypothesis: The phase change

occurs because they are going through a stressful or difficult

time. In our opinion something in the frontal lobe changes. In a

phase some neurons are "activated" and when the phase changes

these are "deactivated" and those of the other phase are

"activated".

Are there different levels of bipolarity, which ones? Can bipolar

be worsened or improved? Hypothesis: Yes, we believe that there

are different levels of bipolarity. The level changes depending on

how developed your brain is. Also, we believe that the disease can

get worse if it is not treated, and there is also the possibility of

improvement if it is treated.

What is the difference between a child and an adult who has

bipolar disorder? Which is more dangerous? Hypothesis: The

difference would be that it is more difficult to control the child

than the adult because the child does not fully understand what

is happening to him. We believe that in adults it is more

dangerous because it is more developed than the child.
