At the height of the transition of Philadelphia’s economy from agricultural to industrial, Philadelphia experienced a period of economic prosperity for almost all its citizens. Businesses were booming, new projects and development were established, the banking and commerce industries soared and a record number of jobs were created enabling the city to reach full employment rate, something that the city has yet to experience since. Citizens were confident in the government and financial institutions were equally confident in their citizens as evident by lax lending habits. As all good things typically come to an end, Philadelphia had an economic turn for the absolute worse. In 1920, the stock market crashed with several major bank failures and employment rate plummeted. The city then went through the worse financial time in the history of the U.S. known as the Great Depression. Citizens looked to their government for ways and means of ending the suffrage wreaking havoc on a once thriving and prosperous city. The significant increase in unemployment rate resulted in citizens losing trust and hope in the Republican Party, the party in power at the time. The New Deal initiative was then developed under President Roosevelt, which slowly ushered in the recovery of the economy and the city as a whole. The effects of the Great Depressions were alleviated to some degree; nevertheless the city struggled to achieve economic stability once more, but there was hope in sight. Despite the

Thankfully, there are various treatments and therapies, which can help manage bipolar disorder in an individual. Since all patents are different, experimenting with multiple treatments is always a good idea, to help figure out what will work best for them. Medication is a main and most popular route, including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants (“National Institute of Mental Health”). Unfortunately, medications can have their downsides and often getting the patient to regularly take their medication is one of the biggest challenges. Another option for the patient to consider is psychotherapy. This includes different kinds of verbal therapy such as cognitive and behavioral therapy (“Bipolar Disorder”). Therapy is not only helpful for the affected person but also can help the family cope. Lifestyle changes such as healthier lifestyle, organized schedule, and the limitation of alcohol and drug consumption, can contribute to managing this disorder. Overall though, this disorder affects everyone differently, and the patent needs to consult a doctor and psychiatrist to figure out what will help them handle their symptoms the most

I found the article Women’s Brains to be highly interesting and filled with many different opinions on an assumption. At first, I thought the article was going to be a man bashing the intelligence of a woman. I don’t believe that I was entirely wrong about men thinking little of women. As I read more of the article I believe he was just trying to prove the difference in the size of the brain between men and women. The scientist did have some scientific studies to back up his assumptions of women, even though I find them to be a bit bias. Broca’s experiment did involve some testing but not all the variables were the same. Within his autopsy study it proved to be that a man has a larger brain than woman, therefore, he believed it was impossible

Bipolar disorder is a highly intermittent illness often beginning in the critical life period of late adolescence and early adulthood. Bipolar disorder can have a major impact on the social, educational and occupational development of individuals. Psychotherapy has been found to treat people with a mental disorder by helping them understand their illness. It teaches people strategies and gives them tools to deal with stress, unhealthy thoughts, and unhealthy behaviors. Psychotherapy helps patients manage their symptoms better and function at their best in everyday life. Sometimes psychotherapy alone may be the best treatment for a person, depending on the illness and its severity. Other times, psychotherapy may need to be combined with medications to get the best outcome or treatment. Therapists will work diligently with individuals and families to devise an appropriate treatment plan. Not always, will it be easy to fine the appropriate treatment or balanced treatment for the patient and family on the first therapy visit. That being said, it can sometimes prolong a recovery or make the patient and family noncompliant. By far, the researchers and healthcare professionals know that the best and most effective treatment for bipolar disorder is early diagnosis and early intervention. So, it takes everyone to work as a team including the patient and family to be successful towards the road to recovery.

            Before researching this topic, I used to think that Bipolar Disorder was a very rare mental illness and in most cases, a misdiagnoses. There are many misconceptions about Bipolar Disorder and mental illness as a whole. Bipolar Disorder has become an epidemic in America and affects nearly everyone in some way. The term Bipolar is increasingly being misused to describe someone having a bad day or being excessively happy. Over the past generation, Bipolar has began to be used as an adjective to describe how people are feeling or acting.  Most of us know someone who either has Bipolar Disorder or someone affected by it.

Citizens can call upon their elected officials to increase access to mental health services (counseling, therapy, medications) for people diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and support the families that are affected.

The daily life of someone with bipolar disorder can include several different challenges when it comes to their daily routine. As stated previously, bipolar disorder is a disorder that can influence ones mood by the fluctuation of mania/hypomania and depression. Individuals that are diagnosed with bipolar disorder have often perceived themselves as being unstable due to their feelings, thoughts, and mood changing on a day to day or week to week basis (1). Individuals often feel feelings of isolation from and being

There have two types of Bipolar disorder, mania and depression. Both of it have the different symptom that show up by mania is more severe and has a tendency of violence. The one who be mania can lose ability to work, and social skill also. “With the mania, the teen might be abnormally happy, energetic, and very talkative, with no need for sleep for days.” (Roy Benaroch, MD, August 2014) Even it seem fine that people being abnormally happy or very talkative but the mania patient’s mood can change to opposite very quickly, which mean those person can be severe mood very quickly as well. However, the types of bipolar that has more number of patient is depression, its symptom is boring, lonely, or sorrow. This type of bipolar has found in teenager

Medication that have been used to stabilize or help reduce mood swings that provoke a person to have an episode outburst can include valproate, Carbamazepine, Oxcarbazepine, Lamotrigine, Quetiapine, Risperidone, Risperidone long-acting injection, Aripiprazole, Ziprasidone, Olanzapine, Asenapine, Paliperidone, Clozapine and Haloperidol (Kristal 85) these medications do little to no improvement for the individual and can include side effects that harm the person ability to function. For maniac or depressive episodes one of the most effective medication is the use of Lithium, this treatment stabilizes the patient and is shown to reduce suicide (Kristal 83). Therapies of either the individual or the individual and there family are also very common and can help a person learn to control their episode outburst and figure out what triggers them. Although Therapies can be proven to help the person medications are always encouraged to be taken. Bipolar disease is a chronic disease which requires effective control by medication if no medications is provided then the risk of suicide, social prejudice and low adherence to treatment can occur (Astres

There are not nearly as many treatments for bipolar disorder. In fact, there is only one treatment that seems to have lasting effects. This treatment uses therapy with a professional coupled with medications. “Antibipolar drugs, also called mood stabilizers, help steady the mood of those with a bipolar disorder” (Chapter 2, 2009). The advances in treatment are due to the discovery of lithium as a medication. This drug works extremely well to eliminate manic episodes and even help with the depression. The drugs

The three sources that I researched mostly agreed with my hypothesis that most people who suffer from bipolar feel different/isolated from others. They often struggle trying to make daily life decisions and work out what the “normal thing to do is”. (Margarita Tartakovsky, 2016, page 1). This quote from Margarita shows me that bipolar patients are different to others, and often find it difficult to act a certain type of way which to others seems
