Introduction:
Bipolar disorder has held a negative connotation for
many people. The social stigma associated
with this mental illness can be attributed to the fact that the general public
does not understand the illness. They are uninformed about definition of
bipolar disorder and make assumptions that do not necessarily correlate with
the facts. Previously known as manic
depression, the illness has been linked to words such as crazy, maniac, and
madness causing negative reactions and fear.
This project will give information about the symptoms, causes, and
treatment of bipolar disorder. How do
the symptoms of bipolar disorder affect the lives of the person who has it and
the people around them? What are the
causes of this illness? Why do some
people choose to get treatment while others do not? Bipolar disorder is a misunderstood disease
with many negative and positive aspects.
Review
of Literature:
Sources
reviewed include the 2013 research article “Understanding Treatment
Hon-adherence in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: a Survey of What Service
Users Do and Why” by Susanne Gibson and colleagues for BMC (BioMed Central) Psychiatry. Its authors provide statistical information
and analyze reasons why over half of the participants in the study do not
follow treatment recommendations. Another
source from BMC Psychiatry in 2013 by Holly Peay, Donald Rosenstein and Barbara
Biesecker, “Adaptation to bipolar disorder and perceived risk to children: a
survey of parents with bipolar disorder” assesses the perceptions of the risk
of parents with bipolar disorder passing on the illness to their children. A source by Guy Goodwin and colleagues, “ECNP
consensus meeting. Bipolar
Depression. Nice, March 2007” in European
Neuropsychopharmacology from 2008 discuss the criteria for bipolar disorder
described in the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) from the American Psychiatric
Association published in 1994 as well as the types of medication used for
treatment and its effectiveness. Jihyung
Hong and colleagues published a research article for Pharmacoecomonics in 2010,
“The Cost of Relapse for Patients with a Manic/Mixed Episode of Bipolar
Disorder in the EMBLEM Study”, analyzing the substantial costs and the economic
impact of relapse of bipolar patients. A
paper written by Klára Látalová, “Insight in Bipolar Disorder” published by Psychiatry Quarterly in 2012, discusses
the association of how better insight correlates to a better outcome from
treatment. “Bipolar disorder” a report
provided by the University of Maryland Medical Center, discusses the different
aspects regarding the causes, diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder
highlighting the different categories of the illness and specific treatment
guidelines for the each type of the disorder including drugs, psychotherapy,
and lifestyle changes. Steve Bressert’s
article, “Frequently Asked Questions About Bipolar Disorder” written for PsychCentral
in 2006, answers common questions regarding bipolar disorder including heritability,
other medical conditions that manifest symptoms similar to the disorder, how to be nonjudgmental towards someone with
the condition, and how medication, information, support, and lifestyle affects
it. In her article in the Winter 2012
issue of Bipolar Magazine, “Accentuate the POSITIVE”, Elizabeth Forbes identifies
some positive characteristics associated with bipolar disorder such as
creativity, drive, innovation, resilience, and empathy. In Madeline Vann’s contribution to Everydayhealth.com,
“Is There a Bright Side to Bipolar Disorder?”, she writes about the advantages
of hypomania in bipolar disorder. “Advantages
in Bipolar: No Longer If, But Why and How.” from Psychologytoday.com, written
by Tom Wootton, published on June 21, 2013 in Bipolar Advantage, highlights the
presentations of four doctors at the APA annual conference who spoke about
their research on people affected with bipolar disorder and why they exhibit
certain advantages in their lives.
Plan
to Collect Information:
The
sources that I have collected so far are ten peer-reviewed scholarly articles
using Academic Search Premier from
the Olympic College website, over ten resources from various websites I have
found during Google searches, three books I have checked out from the Kitsap
Regional Library (Touched with Fire by
Kay Redfield Jamison, Living with Someone
Who’s Living with Bipolar Disorder: A Practical Guide for Family, Friends, and
Coworkers by Chelsea Lowe and Bruce M. Cohen, and The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide: What You and Your Family Need to
Know by David J. Miklowitz), one book that I personally own (An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison)
and a reference book I found at the Olympic College Poulsbo Library (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-IV) by the American Psychiatric Association. I have found information on Google Images
which include the articles they originated from that has some useful
information. I have also had
conversations with two psychiatrists, six psychologists and an Advanced
Registered Nurse Practitioner. Although
I did not perform official interviews with the intent of using the information
in writing my research paper, I did gain valuable information and personal
advice about the symptoms and treatment specific to bipolar disorder for myself
and other family members affected by this illness. Over the past year, I have shared many
conversations with my husband about the information we have found during our individual
research to understand this disorder.
For a public speaking class I took during the summer of 2013, I polled
the class asking various questions about their perceptions and understanding of
bipolar disorder that I used in my final speech. On Facebook, I asked the question, “Does anyone
have experience with trying to control bipolar disorder without medication?”,
and received some personal messages about the experiences of others regarding
the use, or non use, of medication for themselves or that of close family
members. I have also posted many “statuses” regarding my personal experience
with this illness and received many responses, some helpful and some not, that
has given me insight on how others perceive this disorder. Although I will not be using my personal
experiences directly, it will help me determine which information would be
beneficial to use from my cited sources.
Project
Timeline:
Towards the end of January, I gathered my sources
and compiled them in the form of a Working Bibliography in MLA format. This included spending time searching for the
required number of sources using the parameters outlined in the class
syllabus. After completing this Research
Proposal, I plan to work on my Annotated Bibliography that is due this week. I will also need to complete a Literature
Review of a minimum of 20 sources. To
accomplish this, I will finish reading my material and choose the necessary
information needed to include in my paper.
By February 27th, I will need to have completed the Final
draft of my Outline, Rationale and Abstract.
On this day, I will bring three copies of my Rough Draft to be reviewed
during an In-Class Lab. Afterwards, I
will have a week to make revisions according to the feedback of my peers. On March 6, we will have a Drafting Workshop
where I will have a chance to polish my research paper even more. The final draft of my research paper is due
March 13th.
