How is Bipolar Disorder diagnosed?

• With a physical Examinatiom
• Lab Test
• Psychiatric assessment – The doctor may refer you to a psychiatrist, who will talk to you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns.
• Mood charting –  You may be asked to keep a daily record of your moods, sleep patterns or other factors that could help with diagnosis and finding the right treatment.

Symptoms

In bipolar disorder, the dramatic episodes of high and low moods do not follow a set pattern. Symptoms of mania (“the highs”):

• Excessive happiness, hopefulness, and excitement
• Sudden changes from being joyful to being irritable, angry, and hostile
• Restlessness
• Rapid speech and poor concentration
• Increased energy and less need for sleep
• Unusually high sex drive
• Making grand and unrealistic plans
• Showing poor judgment
• Drug and alcohol abuse
• Becoming more impulsive

During depressive periods (“the lows”), a person with bipolar disorder may have:

• Sadness
• Loss of energy
• Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness

Causes

The exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, but several factors may be involved, such as:

• Biological differences. People with bipolar disorder appear to have physical changes in their brains. The significance of these changes is still uncertain but may eventually help pinpoint causes.
• Genetics. Bipolar disorder is more common in people who have a first-degree relative, such as a sibling or parent, with the condition. Researchers are trying to find genes that may be involved in causing bipolar disorder.

Risk Factors

Factors that may increase the risk of developing bipolar disorder or act as a trigger for the first episode include:

• Having a first-degree relative, such as a parent or sibling, with bipolar disorder
• Periods of high stress, such as the death of a loved one or other traumatic event

   • Failing in exam, not getting promotion.
3. Spiritual Factor
   • Fear of sin

4. Deficiency of Vitamin D

Naturopathy Treatment

1. Medication – It does not work if not done instantly rather it  brings side effects which makes the condition worst
2. Talk therapy – It gives a little relaxation after talking but talk therapy is not the ultimate cure of Depression.
3. Light therapy – It has a positive effect but doesn’t have a proper cure.
4. Homeopathy – It’s also a medicine like allopathy but  is better since it has no side effects.
5. Ayurveda – Medicine and Panchkarma both work positively .
6. Counselling – It doesn’t work because the brain is already preoccupied with a lot of other thoughts. Counselling involves taking challenges and depressed person can’t take challenges.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental illness that causes repeated unwanted thoughts or sensations (obsessions) or the urge to do something over and over again (compulsions).
According to Naturopathy, over intelligence in the brain leads to this disease. It usually happens to brainy people.

How is OCD Diagnosed?

• Psychological evaluation – This includes discussing thoughts, feelings, symptoms and behaviour patterns to determine if a person has obsessions or compulsive behaviours.
• With a Physical Examination

Symptoms

• Friends and family become the villain of their life.
• They face a lot of trust issues and starts behaving in bad manner.
• Worries about themselves or other people getting hurt.
• Constant awareness of blinking, breathing, or other body sensations.
• Suspicion that a partner is unfaithful, with no reason to believe it.
• Doing tasks in a specific order every time or a certain “good” number of times.
• Needing to count things, like steps or bottles.
• Fear of touching doorknobs, using public toilets, or shaking hands.
• Any suggestion or appreciation given to them is taken as a criticism.

Causes

• Biology – OCD may be a result of changes in the patient’s body or brain functions.

Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause multiple symptoms. It’s frequently characterized by intense, debilitating headaches.

How is Migraine Diagnosed?

A doctor trained in treating headaches (neurologist) will diagnose migraines based on:

• Medical history.
• With a physical examination.
• With a neurological examination.
• MRI.
• CT scan

Types

• Common migraine has no “aura.” About 80% of migraines are common.
• Classic migraines (migraine with aura) present with an aura before the headache and are more severe than common migraines.
• A silent or acephalgic migraine is a migraine without head pain but with aura and other aspects of migraine. This type of migraine isn’t uncommon in people who start having migraines after age 40.
• A hemiplegic migraine can have symptoms that mimic a stroke, such as weakness on one side of the body, loss of sensation, or feeling “pins and needles.”
• A retinal migraine causes temporary vision less in one eye, which can last from minutes to months, but it is usually reversible. This is often a sign of a more serious medical problem, and patients should seek medical care.
• A chronic migraine is a migraine headache that lasts for more than 15 days per month for three consecutive months.
• Menstrual Migraine affects up to 60% of women who experience any type of migraine. It can occur with or without an aura. It can also occur before, during, or after menstruation and during ovulation.
• Status migrainosus is a constant migraine attack that lasts more than 72 hours.

Symptoms

The most common migraine symptoms are:

• Throbbing, pulsating pain
• Light sensitivity
• Sound sensitivity
• Nausea
• Pain on one side
• Vision changes, blurred vision
• Aura
• Vomiting

Other migraine symptoms include:

• Diarrhea – constipation
• Difficulty concentrating
• Fatigue
• Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
• Fever
• Food cravings
• Hives
• Mood changes
• Neck pain
• Numbness, tingling
• Puffy eyelid
• Sensitivity to smell
• Weakness
• Vertigo

Causes

• Bright lights
• Severe heat, or other extremes in weather
• Dehydration
• Changes in barometric pressure
• Hormone changes in women, such as estrogen and progesterone fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause
• Excess stress
• Loud sounds
• Intense physical activity
• Skipping meals
• Changes in sleep patterns
• Use of certain medications, such as oral contraceptives 
• Unusual smells
• Certain foods
• Smoking
• Alcohol use
• Traveling

Risk Factors

• Age –  Migraines can begin at any age, though the first often occurs during adolescence. Migraines tend to peak during your 30s, and gradually become less severe and less frequent in the following decades.
• Sex – Women are three times more likely to have migraines.
• Hormonal changes –  For women who have migraines, headaches might begin just before or shortly after onset of menstruation. They might also change during pregnancy or menopause. Migraines generally improve after menopause.

Mental retardation is now called “intellectual disability”. It is a developmental disability characterized by subaverage intelligence and impairments in adaptive daily life skills. The disorder occurs before the age of 18 years, and is associated with numerous biological, environmental, and sociocultural causes.

How is Mental Retardation Diagnosed?

• With a Physical Examination.
• A medical history should be done immediately to discover any organic cause of symptoms.
• If a neurological cause such as brain injury is suspected, the child may be referred to a neurologist or neuropsychologist for testing.
•  Blood tests, urine tests, imaging tests to look for structural problems in the brain, or electroencephalogram (EEG) to look for evidence of seizures.

Symptoms

• Rolling over, sitting up, crawling, or walking late.
• Talking late or having trouble with talking.
• Slow to master things like potty training, dressing, and feeding himself or herself.
• Difficulty remembering things.
• Inability to connect actions with consequences.
• Behaviour problems such as explosive tantrums.
• Difficulty with problem-solving or logical thinking.

Causes

• Genetic conditions – These include things like Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome.
• Problems during pregnancy –  Things that can interfere with fetal brain development include alcohol or drug use, malnutrition, certain infections, or preeclampsia.
• Problems during pregnancy –  Intellectual disability may result if a baby is deprived of oxygen during childbirth or born extremely premature.
• Illness or injury – Infections like meningitis, whopping cough, or the measles can lead to intellectual disability. Severe head injury near-drowning, extreme malnutrition, infections in the brain, exposure to toxic substances such as lead, and severe neglect or abuse can also cause it.
