Bipolar Disorder Nursing Process
Bipolar disorder was formerly called manic depression. It is a form of major affective disorder, or mood
disorder, defined by manic or hypomanic episodes changes from one's normal mood accompanied by high
energy states.
Mania is often involved sleeplessness, sometimes for days, along with hallucinations, psychosis, grandiose
delusions, or paranoid rage. In addition, depressive episodes can be more devastating and harder to treat than
in people who never have manias or hypomanias.
Psychosis can happen at different stages of bipolar disorder. However, it is not always present, and not
everyone with bipolar disorder will experience it. It can be a frightening experience for the person and
those around them, but a psychiatric provider can offer treatment to control and relieve the symptoms.
Psychosis happens when a person's thinking becomes detached from the reality around them. It can
occur with biolar disorder, schizophrenia, some types of dementia, and other conditions. The person's
thinking becomes disconnected, or dissociated with reality. A psychotic episode can involve
hallucinations, delusions, confusion and disturbed thoughts, a lack of insight and self-awareness
When psychosis happens during a low mood, a person with bipolar disorder may experience fear and
paranoia.
A person may experience the following:
1. Visual and other hallucinations: The person sees, hears, and maybe smells things that are not
there.
2. Delusions: The person may be certain that something is true when it is not. They may believe
that they are important, have contacts in high places, or have a lot of money, or are related to
royalty, when in fact they are not. Some people become afraid that someone is seeking to hurt
them or that others are working against them, such as the government.
3. Paranoia and fear: The individual may believe that they have done something terrible or that
someone wants to cause them harm.
4. Unusual or racing thought patterns: This can lead to rapid, constant, or confused or disjointed
speech with rapid changes of topic. The person may forget what they were talking about.
5. Lack of insight: The person is unable to recognize unusual behavior in themselves, though they
may recognize it when they see it in others, whether it actually exists or not.
These symptoms can occur during episodes of mania, depression, or during a mixed episode, when a
person with bipolar disorder shows signs of both a low and high mood. They can cause the person to
behave in unusual ways, and this can impact their relationships with others, whether in their personal
life, at work, or in other situations. If the person believes they are very important, they may behave in
ways that are outside the law. In some cases, this can lead to aggression, for example, if someone
confronts the person. An individual who believes that they have committed a crime or that someone is
coming after them may become defensive or talk about suicide. If a person has bipolar disorder and
they shows signs of psychosis, they should see a doctor, if possible, as there is a risk of unwanted
consequences.
