Although there is not one known cause of bipolar disorders, there has been research that has outlined some potential causes which can be taken into account while creating a treatment plan for the patient. It has been hard to pinpoint the exact cause of the complex disorder, as it can be difficult to diagnose and even determine the underlying causes of the disorder.

Genetics is thought to play a major role in the causes of bipolar disorder. The genetics of an individual may affect the chances of that individual suffering from bipolar disorder in the future. Since genetics has been attributed as a cause of bipolar disorder, in the case that members of the family suffer from bipolar disorder the child can be at an increased risk of developing the disease. Nearly 80% of twins that are suffering from bipolar disorder see the disease in both twins, rather than just one, which can demonstrate the inheritability of the disease.

In some cases, research has demonstrated that defective or inactive neurotransmitters may contribute to the causes of bipolar disorder as they are unable to relay certain messages between the body and the brain resulting in interruptions in mood and interruptions between the impulses and the personality.
Although these are two of the most common causes which are thought to trigger bipolar disorder there can be many others. Research must be completed to allow the health care professionals to effectively find the cause, so that a cure can be reached.

There are many medications which are used to treat Bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. These medications are strong and can change the way that the brain produces certain chemicals and hormones which can reduce the symptoms which are associated with Bipolar disorder.

Here are some common medications that are used to treat bipolar disorder:
Mood stabilizing Medications are used to treat the majority of bipolar disorder cases and can include a variety of medications as well as dosages depending on the information which is collected through the comprehensive medical history and the severity of the symptoms which are being experienced.

Antipsychotic medications are used in conjunction with other medications to treat some of the symptoms which are associated with bipolar disorder. These medications can include Seroquel or Abilify – which are some popular brand name medications associated with the treatment of bipolar disorder.

Antidepressant medications are used to fight the depression which has come to be associated with those suffering from bipolar disorder. As an added bonus, this can help to regulate the mood and energy levels. For those suffering from mild bipolar disorder, this is often the course of treatment that is tried first to avoid adverse side effects that can come from stronger medications.

Health care professionals adjust the dosages based on the symptoms that the patient is experiencing and the reaction that occurs to the medication. This can be helpful in treating the disorder to the best of the physician’s ability.
