Bipolar Disorder
cast a light on this challenging psychiatric condition. Ms Zeta-Jones was said to have been treated for bipolar disorder following the stress caused by the battle against throat cancer by her husband Michael Douglas. She is understood to have briefly checked into a facility to receive treatment for bipolar II disorder.
There are several other medications used to treat bipolar episodes, and these are prescribed depending on the patient's circumstances, the nature of the condition and the length of treatment. Talking therapies may also be of help. People can also be taught to recognise the triggers and warning signs of the condition, and what to do when these occur.
