Wording:

Time:
hours
Introduction:
<p dir="ltr">Most of us express various kinds of emotions, ranging from simple ones like happiness and anger to excitement and disgust. Our emotional state – our mood – varies according to the type of experience.<br /> Shifting one’s mood needs the release of brain chemicals, like endorphins (happiness) or epinephrine (sadness, anger…). The accumulation of positive emotions triggers a positive emotional state, and the same goes for negative emotions.<br /> <br /> But what if the brain worked differently? What if the brain ‘decided’ to release these chemicals <strong>on its own</strong>, and not related to the experience the person was having? That person would suffer unpredictable roller-coaster-like mood swings which would lead to a disturbing low quality of life, impeding social relations; that is how everyday life is for people who are suffering from bipolar and/or cyclothymic disorders.<br /> <br /> Here the condition is described with words from a young man from California:<br /> <em>‘The best part of mania is that I’m so optimistic about everything. You could crash a car through my house, and I would reply, “What a great time to build something new!” I am my most creative during this process, so I am doing as much as possible to capitalize on it. Artistic or constructive, I am up for anything.</em><br /> <em>When I am depressed, I want to be left alone. It is not because I want to be by myself; I want everyone to disappear. I do not want to go anywhere, see anyone, or do anything. It is like no matter what I do, people are telling me I am doing something wrong. So, the easiest way to feel better is to hide.’</em><br /> </p>
