7 Common Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder In Females

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While both men and women can develop bipolar disorder, there are differences in how it manifests in females. Understanding the symptoms specific to women is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Mentioned below are the seven common symptoms of bipolar disorder in females:

1.Extreme Mood Swings: One of the hallmark bipolar disorder symptoms in females is experiencing intense mood swings. In females, these mood swings can be more frequent and intense. Women with bipolar disorder may shift between periods of euphoria and elevated mood (known as mania) and periods of deep depression. These episodes can last for days or even weeks.

2.Depression: Females with bipolar disorder often experience prolonged and severe episodes of depression. They may feel overwhelming sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. These depressive episodes can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life.

3.Rapid Cycling: Rapid cycling refers to the frequent transition between manic and depressive episodes. Women with bipolar disorder are more likely to experience rapid cycling compared to men. This can be particularly challenging as it disrupts stability and makes it harder to manage the condition effectively.

4.Mixed States: Bipolar disorder in women can also present as mixed states, where symptoms of mania and depression coexist. This can lead to feelings of agitation, restlessness, irritability, and impulsivity. Mixed states are often associated with an increased risk of self-harm or suicide, making early intervention crucial.

5.Hormonal Influence: Women's hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Some females may notice an exacerbation of symptoms during specific phases of their menstrual cycle, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or the postpartum period. Tracking these patterns and communicating them to healthcare professionals for a more comprehensive treatment approach is essential. 

6.Anxiety and Panic Attacks: Anxiety disorders commonly co-occur with bipolar disorder in women. Females may experience intense anxiety, worry, and panic attacks, which can further complicate the management of their bipolar symptoms. Addressing both bipolar disorder and anxiety simultaneously is crucial for effective treatment.

7.Impaired Social and Occupational Functioning: Bipolar disorder can significantly impair a woman's social and occupational functioning. Extreme mood swings, energy fluctuations, and cognitive difficulties can make it challenging to maintain stable relationships, hold down a job, or pursue educational goals. Seeking professional help is essential to develop coping strategies and improve overall functioning.

Women's Mental Health Facilities: Improving Women's Mental Health

Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, and it is influenced by various factors, including cultural and social contexts. Women, in particular, face unique challenges that can impact their mental health. Among these multiple factors, there’s an intricate relationship between cultural and social factors and women's mental health. Let us take a closer look at these factors and how Centre for Women's Mental Health help in dealing with mental health challenges faced by women.

Understanding Cultural Factors

Culture plays a significant role in shaping the experiences and perceptions of women. Be it cultural norms, values, or expectations, culture can exert both positive and negative influences on women’s mental health. In some cultures, gender roles and expectations may limit women's autonomy and contribute to feelings of powerlessness and low self-esteem. Cultural stigmas surrounding mental health can also discourage women from seeking help and support.

Social Factors and Women's Mental Health

Social factors, such as socioeconomic status, education, employment, and social support networks, also significantly impact women's mental health. Women who face economic hardships or limited educational opportunities may experience higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Social support networks, including family, friends, and community, play a vital role in buffering the negative effects of stress and promoting mental well-being.

Intersectionality and Women's Mental Health

The concept of intersectionality recognizes that women's experiences are shaped not only by their gender but also by other aspects of their identity, such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, and disability. Women from marginalized groups often face additional barriers and discrimination, leading to increased vulnerability to mental health issues. Women's Mental Health Facilities must consider these intersectional factors to provide inclusive and culturally sensitive care.

Importance of Women's Mental Health Facilities

Women's Mental Health Facilities or a Centre for Women's Mental Health or Women's Centre for Mental Health, play a pivotal role in addressing the specific needs of women. These specialized facilities provide comprehensive and gender-responsive mental health services, tailored to the unique challenges faced by women. They offer a safe and supportive environment where women can seek professional help, counselling, and therapy.

The Role of Women's Mental Health Services Near Me

Having access to Women's Mental Health Services near one's location is essential for timely and effective intervention. Local facilities enable women to access support without having to travel long distances, which can be a significant barrier, especially for those with limited resources or mobility issues. Seeking Women's Mental Health Services near me ensures that women receive the care they need in a convenient and accessible manner.

Support for Women's Mental Health

Cultural and social factors play a profound role in shaping women's mental health. By understanding and addressing these factors, we can create a supportive environment that promotes women's mental well-being. Women's Mental Health Facilities are invaluable resources in providing gender-responsive care that recognizes the unique challenges women face. If there’s someone you know – a friend or a family member, who is dealing with any form of mental illness and is looking for a specialised treatment centre for women, then Athena OKAS is the right choice.

Athena OKAS is one of the most trusted and reliable residential mental health treatment facilities that designs specialised treatment programsbased on their condition.

quick note - this blog is gonna be sparse again for at least this week. trying new medications and tbh initial side effects are not super pleasant + actual effects build up. as a result: currently as if unmedicated for mental health, with anxiety+ side effect, extra fatigue, dizziness, and fatigue. it's uh, sure something.

totally recognize that most of y'all know we're absent at times due to health things, just wanted to give a heads up that this one is at least anticipated.

Queens, it's time to step onto this Earth like you're descended from the heavens themselves. Picture this: every step you take is a dance, a symphony of confidence and grace. You're not just walking; you're strutting with the aura of a goddess. Your presence, like the gentle sway of a willow tree in the breeze, commands attention, and your footsteps echo with power. It's not about arrogance; it's about knowing your worth and embracing the beauty within you.

In a world that might try to dim your light, you must shine brighter. Walk like the universe conspired for your arrival, like the stars whispered your name at birth. You are the embodiment of beauty, strength, and grace. Each stride is a declaration that you own your path, and every glance thrown your way is a testament to your magnetic presence. So, let the world watch in awe as you walk with the confidence of a goddess, for you are a force of nature, a masterpiece in motion. 💃🌟

Its a requirement of mine to be with someone who loves me for who I am. Who let's me become my true princess self. To feel safe & supported. To be able to finally take a breath to give back to the person who shines with me. It's a requirement to be equally loved by a partner.

[bittwitchy]

see the reality is i post on my rps usually when nobodys been there a bit and nobody is probably online, but the mental illness in me keeps saying its bc everyone secretly hates me and i dont deserve love, and when i tell a gov doctor that, they basically just say ‘take your antidepressant’s and shut up’ which is also funny when said gov doctor wont refill my fucking antidepressants in the first place

I worked in an adolescent residential treatment center right out of college. Age 21, direct care worker. Weird combination of orderly, prison warden, camp counselor, and babysitter. I worked there for 2.5 years, way past the point of burnout, until I managed to get an office job.

At the interview, they said that the job was stressful, and asked if I could handle a stressful workplace environment.

I'm still not sure how I kept a straight face. Certainly a hysterical laugh was rattling around in my chest and trying to break free along with all the flashbacks.

"Is anyone going to try to punch me?" I asked.

The interviewer looked confused and slightly taken aback. "No?"

"What about biting, am I at risk of being bitten? Kicked? Am I going to have to worry about having objects thrown at me?"

"No, definitely not!"

Maybe I was going a little too far. I dialed it back. "What about being cursed at? Yelled at?"

"No, not that either."

Now I did laugh. I kept it to a nice, polite chuckle, though. "Then it's not more stressful than my last job, where I had to deal with all of those on a regular basis."

I got the job. It was blissfully low-stress.

working an office job now is so funny because when i was 16 i worked a shitty minimum wage job where my manager was an ex-felon bodybuilder with knuckles tats who spent time in prison for attempted murder… so guess what, phil? your fancy title and lame white-collar intimidation tactics aren’t going to work on me, actually. i watched my old boss pull a knife on someone. you really think im going to fall to my knees when you make passive aggressive commentary? please get real

We can get so caught up in the cold weather and changing leaves, which are some of life's greatest pleasures. But let us not forget that October is breast cancer awareness month.

Cancer in general is something that can take over your entire life. You don't even have to be the one who is fighting the battle. When someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, your life changes.

They say that addiction is something called a family disease. This phrase does not mean that addiction runs in the family, but it means it is a disease that can influence and impact all of the inner workings of family dynamics. The same can be said about breast cancer.

Of course, you can see the lows that come with cancer, but you can also see the strength and resilience that comes with being a being a fighter and survivor. Being of support to those battling breast cancer likely means more to them than you realize. Send them the dinners, the door dash gift cards, hire someone to come clean their home, put together a self care basket, etc. These are some ways we can help cancer warriors. Most importantly, tell them you love them!

I want to emphasize the importance of understanding the basics of breast cancer! I am not a doctor, but I am an advocate.

Did you know that 49% of women without insurance went into care with no coverage or delayed getting care? That is nearly half of women with a breast cancer diagnosis. And that does not even include men who have had a breast cancer diagnosis. (Yes, men can get breast cancer too)

INSURANCE IS A BASIC NECESSITY. WE ALL DESERVE ACCESS TO LIFE SAVING CARE. EARLY INTERVENTION IS LIVE SAVING.

I'll say it once, and I'll say it again: I would rather pay a little bit more in taxes if that means every woman, man, and child has access to health care.

We deserve access to quality health care, but also EQUITABLE health care. Breast cancer death rates are 40% higher for woman of color. We cannot continue to let black women and POC to fall through the broken cracks of our healthcare system.

***If you know a doctor that actually listens to you, tell everyone about them. I'm serious- you never know who's life this can save, given medical professionals do not take women seriously.***

Some things we can do to try and prevent breast cancer:

-Limit alcohol intake

-Avoid smoking

-Exercise regularly

-Drink more water and balanced diet

(All of these things are the things doctors throw at you when something is wrong, but won't take you seriously. Please do not take this is the solution, but please understand this has the potential to prevent breast cancer, and really any kind of cancer)

-Learn your family's history. If you can't find information about your family history, genetic testing can help here. (I'm going to link info down below)

-Get your mammogram screenings regularly (They say this should start in your 40's. If you have a family history, try to start by age 30.)

If you or someone you know needs assistance in finding resources to help access things like mammograms or genetic testing, please use this search engine below. By inputting your zip code, 211.org will give you numerous resources that can help. You can use this for anything- food, clothing, shelter, mental health care, etc.

Here is some information on where to find breast cancer support groups:

SELF EXAMS!!!

I've heard many stories on how self-exams have saved lives:

I can sit here and talk about how cancer can impact families (because that is something I have experienced), but I want to highlight stories from breast cancer survivors/ those battling breast cancer.

Here are the links to donation platforms. If you can donate, please do. Every dollar counts as we fight for a cure:

I know that cancer can make us feel helpless. It is hard and uncomfortable to know how to help those struggling. It is okay and normal to feel this way and you are not alone. Here is some information on how you can help cancer fighters:

The struggle continues on.....

I'm simply a wreck. Days before I was just having to deal with heavy Philomena, who evolved into premature menopause. 😵‍💫 I think with my body having to mange its own internal stress, I maybe fighting off a cold virus or something now. I'm not completely sure. *sigh* All I can fathom is that I'm super fatigued with a sinuses headache and other body aches.

Also, Philomena gives me long period, heart palpitations which increases my fatigue and actually speeds up my metabolism. Yes, many times while having my period, I burn more calories while resting. I'm still not sure if that's something I'm happy about. All and all, I just cannot normally function roughly 2 weeks from each month. Women, who live with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, also deal with symptoms like these, especially if they living with anxiety disorder as well.

All I can do is rest in bed and do any other self-care that's needed to get through these health changes. I do humbly wish to Praise God that my physical trials no longer tear me down like in the past. I'd easily fall into a downer, and have a pity party over my circumstances. It's okay be at that place sometimes, but it's not okay to stay there. There's no way I could overcome these things alone, so I keep choosing to give it all to Him. As Followers of Christ, we're not exempted from the struggles and hardships of this life on earth. We simply have chosen the only other option, which is Jesus Christ. Who's so lovingly, gracious and welcoming to all that come to Him with sincere hearts. ❤️ It is He, who gives me His Joy, Hope, Peace and Love. Plus a fulling Purpose and Passion while I travel through this world. All in-spite while having this annoying and limited human body that likes to complicate things. 🤧🤢🤮

Life ain't Perfect, But Jesus Makes it All Worth It!!! 💖

Now my body is saying it's hungry. I must get up and do something about it. Then it's back to chill'n and recover'n for that day. 🤟😌

Stepping Up My Game: How Feel Good Knees Helped Me Rediscover Movementpen_spark

For years, knee pain had become a constant companion, limiting my physical activities and impacting my overall enjoyment of life. Climbing stairs, going for walks, or even playing with my grandchildren became increasingly difficult. That's when I stumbled upon the Feel Good Knees program, a downloadable ebook that promised to help me regain control of my knee health. After following the program for a few months, I'm happy to report a significant improvement and a renewed sense of freedom in my movement.

A Holistic Approach to Knee Pain Relief

What initially attracted me to Feel Good Knees was its holistic approach to knee pain management. Unlike other resources that solely focus on pain relief exercises, Feel Good Knees delves deeper into the root causes of knee problems. The program explores the impact of posture, muscle imbalances, and even inflammation on knee health. This holistic understanding allowed me to address the underlying issues contributing to my pain, not just the symptoms themselves.

Simple Yet Effective Exercises for Lasting Results

Feel Good Knees isn't a program filled with complicated exercises requiring expensive equipment. The program focuses on simple, targeted exercises that can be done from the comfort of your own home. The clear instructions and step-by-step photos made it easy for me, even as someone who isn't the most athletic, to follow the program effectively. The best part? I started noticing improvements in my knee mobility and flexibility within just a few weeks of consistent practice.

A Focus on Long-Term Maintenance, Not Just Quick Fixes

One of the things I appreciate most about Feel Good Knees is its emphasis on long-term maintenance. The program doesn't just offer quick fixes; it equips you with the knowledge and tools to maintain healthy knees for years to come. The program includes valuable sections on proper stretching techniques, healthy lifestyle habits, and even preventative measures to avoid future knee pain. This focus on long-term well-being has been instrumental in preventing setbacks and keeping me active.

A Downloadable Resource That Fits Your Schedule

Being a downloadable ebook, Feel Good Knees offers the advantage of flexibility and accessibility. I can access the program materials anytime, anywhere, allowing me to fit the exercises into my daily routine at my own pace. No more struggling to attend physical therapy appointments or feeling pressured to follow a rigid schedule. This convenience has been a major factor in my commitment to the program.

A Renewed Lease on Life, One Step at a Time

The positive impact of Feel Good Knees extends far beyond just pain relief. With my knees feeling stronger and more flexible, I've rediscovered the joy of movement. I can now climb stairs without dread, go for longer walks without discomfort, and even keep up with my energetic grandchildren. Feel Good Knees has given me back the confidence and freedom to embrace a more active lifestyle.

Overall, Feel Good Knees has been a life-changing resource for me. The program's holistic approach, simple yet effective exercises, and focus on long-term maintenance have empowered me to take control of my knee health and rediscover the joy of movement. If you're struggling with knee pain, I highly recommend giving Feel Good Knees a try.
