| Subject: What are Triggers and How Do They Affect Bipolar Disorder? Wed Sep 08, 2010 8:09 pm | |
| Triggers come in many forms- From the positive, such as: - a new relationship - the birth of a child - a promotion at work - graduating from college - an exciting vacation
To the negative:
- sleep changes due to work schedules - troublesome relationships - a death in the family - or most significantly, drug and alcohol abuse. Of all of the triggers, these two are the most detrimental.
Common Bipolar Disorder Triggers:
- Alcohol and drug abuse - Argumentative, negative and aggressive people (if this describes you, reducing your bipolar disorder symptoms can help with the problem) - Stressful work- especially work with constantly changing hours - Travel - especially travel with time zone changes - Relationship problems - Non-supportive family members and friends - Excessive media exposure to stressful world events - Social isolation - Medication side-effects | |
