Bipolar Disorder

Abstract: Bipolar disorder, a significant condition, primarily affects adults, showing a higher prevalence among them compared to children. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders characterizes bipolar disorder by manic or mixed episodes. Regrettably, this disorder has not received ample research attention, leading to a scarcity of resources for special education educators regarding its definition, origins, and assessment, particularly in the context of assisting students with bipolar disorder. Notably, young students grappling with bipolar disorder often miss out on timely intervention, as diagnosis typically occurs when their condition reaches a critical and potentially hazardous stage. The absence of a precise definition for bipolar disorder compounds the issue, complicating the identification of students who qualify for specialized educational services. Furthermore, limited research exists on bipolar disorder's origins and evaluation methods. The multifaceted origins of bipolar disorder predominantly intertwine genetic and environmental factors. This paper's objective is to compile comprehensive information on bipolar disorder, aiding special education teachers in the early identification and intervention for students dealing with bipolar disorder.

Keywords: bipolar disorder, causes, assessment, students.
