Emotional emotional disorders of all types and intensities are experiences of people around the world. Some people experience mild types of mood disorders such as SAD and SSAD [seasonal and seasonal seasonal affective disorder], and in rare cases, more serious diseases like polar disease can affect many negative ways over the years. Their lives.

bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder, also known as bipolar disorder or manic depressive disorder. Those with this condition sometimes experience high levels of hyperactivity [mania] and severe depression [depression and depression] during the episode, so they are called bipolar. Patients also experienced mild manic episodes characterized by excess energy and mild to moderate mania [observable activity, speech and general high optimism]. These two emotions can be rapidly alternated or separated by periods of complete normal behavior of the patient. The cause of this disease is related to genetic and environmental factors. The disease afflicts more than 5 million Americans in some form or severity, with 2 out of every 100 people, thanks to psychiatric help and/or medication. There are two main forms of the disease, bipolar 1 and bipolar 2.

Symptoms of Biphasic 1: One or more manic [excited] or mixed episodes occur in some order without a depressive episode.

Symptoms of Biphasic 2: In this type of disease, mild manic episodes occur instead of actual manic episodes and major depressive episodes.

Phototherapy and sleep cycle related treatment

Along with abnormal emotional conditions, people with this disease also suffer from an unstable sleep-wake cycle [circadian rhythm]. Studies have shown that using various forms of phototherapy [as it is used in patients with SAD – seasonal affective disorder] to regulate this sleep cycle not only improves sleep-wake conditions, but also helps to make mood in patients with bipolar disorder normalization.

A recent study by the Western Psychiatric Institute at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine was published in the Journal of Bipolar Disorders, where light therapy [which includes blue light therapy – very effective for similar mood disorders] is effective in relieving bipolar disorder [science] daily, In particular, the treatment time is up to 45 minutes and is carried out at noon [ie not in the morning or at night]. Clinical studies have shown that more than 60% of subjects who receive different timetable tests have a positive response, while at least half of the subjects respond adequately to treatment [Science Daily].

A 10000 lux blue or full-spectrum light source is emitted at a distance of 60 cm for a morning or noon session [any time during which the patient responds best to treatment], and a session between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Length is generally considered to be the best treatment and in many cases causes positive changes during the week of treatment.
