  1. Bipolar-II Disorder Jason Wich, Luis Sandoval, Gabriel pareja

  2. Symptoms • Alternating states of mania and depression • Difference between Bipolar I and II

  3. Diagnosis • Diagnosed the same way as Bipolar I disorder • The line between the two is not clear cut

  4. Prevalence • DSM IV says .5% of population have specifically Bipolar II • Research has found it to be around 5% • Underdiagnosed in many areas

  5. Causes • It is unknown what causes any forms of bipolar disorder • There are some links to genetic causes, however the cause is not clearly defined (Phelps 2007) • Environmental factors have a strong influence on the onset of the disorder • Cognitive processes similar to those expressed in unipolar depressed patients has been seen frequently in bipolar individuals (Alloy et. al. 2005)

  6. Cultural Factors • Across all cultures, individuals with bipolar disorder had similar symptoms and additional mental health problems • High-income countries have higher rates of the disorder than low-income countries • Collectivist cultures see lower rates of the disorder (Gardner 2011)

  7. Gender Variations • Age of onset of bipolar II disorder for females is lower than that of males and were more likely to have mixed depressive episodes • No noticeable differences on the hypomanic side of the disorder, however differences are more noticeable on the depressive side (Benazzi 2006)

  8. Treatment Approaches • Therapeutic treatments of bipolar II differ from bipolar I • Psychoeducation has been shown to have success in treating bipolar II • Family-focused therapy also has been shown to be effective (Phelps 2001) • Medicines known as “mood-stabilisers”, lithium and valproate most common

  9. Etiology and Therapy • Social support has been seen to be a trigger for the onset of bipolar disorder, showing that increased positive feedback from family/friends can help treat the disorder
