What gets these individuals “in trouble” (especially individuals with Bipolar I) is their behavior: their level of activity, their level of energy. It’s not that the individuals is too happy; rather, there is a failure to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Episode Occurrence: “Typical” Cycling: one or two cycles/year Rapid Cycling: four or more distinct episodes of depression, mania, and'/or hypomania in a one-year period Depressive episodes occur for about 3x as long as manic/hypomanic episodes. Both Bipolar I and II occur equally in males and females, all races, ethnic groups, and social classes. Bipolar disorder usually starts in adolescence or young adulthood (average age of onset is 18 to 22 years old). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1618931787367-4L71C0RZ68FTCAQT5O0X/Screen%252BShot%252B2021-04-20%252Bat%252B11.14.41%252BAM.jpg Bipolar Disorders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1618932264347-CQ2YP9NNF0HWEF95ERVB/Screen%252BShot%252B2021-04-20%252Bat%252B11.22.41%252BAM.jpg Bipolar Disorders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1619802272155-PYDQNWKEDYTWT0EVBZ7B/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-04-30%2Bat%2B1.03.13%2BPM.jpg Bipolar Disorders https://www.mentaledification.com/personality-disorders daily 0.75 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1619802047928-JF3LZUHI6KDAGA0BG70Y/Screen+Shot+2021-04-30+at+12.59.00+PM.png Personality Disorders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1619802272155-PYDQNWKEDYTWT0EVBZ7B/Screen+Shot+2021-04-30+at+1.03.13+PM.png Personality Disorders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1619801469308-IF2RZFIDC9I42YRSF21U/Screen+Shot+2021-04-30+at+12.53.41+AM.png Personality Disorders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1619801590134-RHVS5EVC8ERM8LSFF55J/Screen+Shot+2021-04-30+at+12.49.16+AM.png Personality Disorders https://www.mentaledification.com/our-vision daily 0.75 2021-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1612566469660-6Q1DYB2I6RA5T0VS9R0D/finn-nJupV3AOP-U-unsplash.jpg Our Vision - Listen. Learn. Educate. Break the Stigma Mental Edification started as a seed of an idea for an undergraduate research project that bridged two very different fields: Psychology and Computer Science. The topic of mental illness utilized the psychology, the creation of a website as the “product” of the project utilized the computer science, and the research utilized the collegiate education that prompted the project. Our biggest concern in mental illness is its rapid growth rate among emerging adults coupled with the ever-persistent stigma that mars it. Our research sets out to understand the facts of mental disorders that college-aged students are prone to, or may already be experiencing, and our website aims to combat the stigma by educating others with our findings. Much of the damage surrounding mental illness is from the lack of education and understanding—education of the facts, understanding of the disorder(s), and education about treatments. Our goal is to aid the spread of that education and understanding in order to help emerging adults with mental illness as well as those around them. — Callie Balut Co-Creator

For some, they spend the better part of their time on the internet, whether it be online gaming, surfing the web, or performing online business meetings. Having something so big as the internet available to us all the time can be a negative too, however. Some can develop a dependency on the internet and freak out if they are cut off from the internet for any given reason. There are several different reasons why someone might develop an internet addiction. One such reason would be the stimulation. Having access to the internet all the time has made it so people are used to having a large quantity of stimulation all the time and when the stimulation is gone, the individual craves for more stimulation. Online gaming has become a huge issue, especially in Asian countries. In fact, internet gaming was considered as a disorder in this version of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual); however, due to the lack of research, it did not officially make it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1618679410518-UTEOWBJ8UF8BLIMUYCN0/unsplash-image-0xKvjqqDZk8.jpg Addiction - Food Addiction: Food addiction is closely related to eating disorders, but someone can develop a food addiction whereby their brain considers food as almost a type of drug. Due to this possibility, some people literally cannot stop themselves from eating. As is typical addictive behavior, someone with a food addiction will often try to hide what they are eating and may try to restrain themselves from eating, but can’t help it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60188672f1c102112ba31d64/1619815089706-D439O03LDPGJEE1HUCD9/andy-lee-UFPg3gqfPhw-unsplash.jpg Addiction - Alcohol Addiction: An alcohol addiction would be more of what one probably thinks of when they hear the word “addiction”. There is even a special word for alcohol addiction—alcoholism (not an official medical term). Alcoholism is especially dangerous because of the culture around drinking, particularly in the United States. In the media and movies, drinking is portrayed as a way to forget one’s problem and deal with grief. It is also portrayed as a way to go have fun at a party, particularly for the high school and college-aged demographics. What often isn’t shown are the negatives of such behavior. Such as getting one’s stomach pumped, developing an alcohol dependency, etc. Not to mention, addictions often change people. Someone who is addicted to a substance such as alcohol are often more easily irritated, more secretive, and their personality and behavior can change from the person they were before their addiction. https://www.mentaledification.com/coping-mechanisms daily 0.75 2021-04-30 https://www.mentaledification.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-04-24
