Case Study on Bipolar 1 Disorder Manic Phase with Psychotic Features INTRODUCTION

2011

Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder that is characterized by at least one manic or mixed episode. There may be episodes of hypomania or major depression as well. It is a subdiagnosis of bipolar disorder, and conforms to the classic concept of manic-depressive illness. Bipolar disorder, also known by its older name manic depression, is a mental disorder that is characterized by constantly changing moods. A person with bipolar disorder experiences alternating highs (what clinicians call mania) and lows (also known as depression). Both the manic and depressive periods can be brief, from just a few hours to a few days, or longer, lasting up to several weeks or even months. The periods of mania and depression vary from person to person many people may only experience very brief periods of these intense moods, and may not even be aware that they have bipolar disorder. A manic episode is characterized by extreme happiness, hyperactivity, little need for sleep and racing thoughts, which may lead to rapid speech. A depressive episode is characterized by extreme sadness, a lack of energy or interest in things, an inability to enjoy normally pleasurable activities and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. On average, someone with bipolar disorder may have up to three years of normal mood between episodes of mania or depression. Bipolar disorder is recurrent, meaning that more than 90% of the individuals who have a single manic episode will go on to experience future episodes. Roughly 70% of manic episodes in bipolar disorder occur immediately before or after a depressive episode. Treatment seeks to reduce the feelings of mania and depression associated with the disorder, and restore balance to the persons mood. Those with bipolar disorder often describe their experience as being on an emotional roller coaster. Cycling up and down between strong emotions can keep a person from having

anything approaching a normal life. The emotions, thoughts and behavior of a person with bipolar disorder are often experienced as beyond ones control. Friends, co-workers and family may sometimes intervene to try and help protect their interests and health. This makes the condition exhausting not only for the sufferer, but for those in contact with her or him as well. Bipolar cycling can either be rapid, or more slowly over time. Those who experience rapid cycling can go between depression and mania as often as a few times a week (some even cycle within the same day). Most people with bipolar disorder are of the slow cycling type they experience long periods of being up (high or manic phase) and of being down (low or depressive phase). Researchers do not yet understand why some people cycle more quickly than others.

Case Study on Bipolar 1 Disorder Manic Phase with Psychotic Features SCHEMATIC PRESENTATION
Prenatal

2011

IDEAL: The mother should comply with monthly and weekly (at 9 months AOG) check up, the mother should deliver the baby at the hospital to ensure safety and wellness of the mother and the neonate.

ACTUAL: The mother was not able to comply, she only does her check up seldom, and gave birth with an aide from her neighbor at home

ORAL Stage: 0-1 year old IDEAL: the infant's primary source of interaction occurs through the mouth, so the rooting and sucking reflex is especially important. The mouth is vital for eating, and the infant derives pleasure from oral stimulation through gratifying activities such as tasting and sucking. Because the infant is entirely dependent upon caretakers (who are responsible for feeding the child), the infant also develops a sense of trust and comfort through this oral stimulation.

ACTUAL: Chai was breastfed until she was 1 year and 4 months old, at the same time she was also fed with cerelac, Chai also sleeps in side lying position, she also was under the care of both parents, Chai had her first teeth to erupt when she was 1 year old and at the same time also was her first time to walk and talk short words.

ANAL Stage: 1-3 years old IDEAL: During the anal stage, Freud believed that the primary focus of the libido was on controlling bladder and bowel movements. The major conflict at this stage is toilet training--the child has to learn to control his or her bodily needs. Developing this control leads to a sense of accomplishment and independence.

36

Case Study on Bipolar 1 Disorder Manic Phase with Psychotic Features

2011

According to Freud, success at this stage is dependent upon the way in which parents approach toilet training. Parents who utilize praise and rewards for using the toilet at the appropriate time encourage positive outcomes and help children feel capable and productive. Freud believed that positive experiences during this stage served as the basis for people to become competent, productive and creative adults.

ACTUAL: From 1-2 years of age she had a history of enuresis, luckily she had no childhood history of diseases.

PHALLIC Stage: 3-6 years old IDEAL: During the phallic stage, the primary focus of the libido is on the genitals. At this age, children also begin to discover the differences between males and females. Freud also believed that boys begin to view their fathers as a rival for the mothers affections. The Oedipus complex describes these feelings of wanting to possess the mother and the desire to replace the father. However, the child also fears that he will be punished by the father for these feelings, a fear Freud termed castration anxiety. The term Electra complex has been used to described a similar set of feelings experienced by young girls. Freud, however, believed that girls instead experience penis envy.

ACTUAL: Chai and V are close to their father, because their father was the only person left at their home. While their mother was admitted @ DMH.

LATENT Period: 6-Puberty IDEAL: During the latent period, the libido interests are suppressed. The development of the ego and superego contribute to this period of calm. The stage begins around the time that children enter into school and become more concerned with peer relationships, hobbies and other interests.

37

Case Study on Bipolar 1 Disorder Manic Phase with Psychotic Features

2011

The latent period is a time of exploration in which the sexual energy is still present, but it is directed into other areas such as intellectual pursuits and social interactions. This stage is important in the development of social and communication skills and self-confidence.

ACTUAL: Chais first menstruation period was when she was 14 years old, it is regular as mentioned by her and also quoted that it would last for 7 days, she then elaborated to us how she lost her virginity when she was still 16 years old, a few more discussions passed she mentioned to have multiple relationships

GENITAL Stage: Puberty to death IDEAL: the individual develops a strong sexual interest in the opposite sex. This stage begins during puberty but last throughout the rest of a person's life.

Where in earlier stages the focus was solely on individual needs, interest in the welfare of others grows during this stage. If the other stages have been completed successfully, the individual should now be well-balanced, warm and caring. The goal of this stage is to establish a balance between the various life areas.

ACTUAL: Chai mentioned to us that after all she experienced, she will be focusing on her current long distance relationship with a pen pal,
