Symptoms must last 2+ years to be diagnosed and you experience periods of normal mood. However this disorder may progress to bipolar one According to the Biological perspective, what causes bipolar disorder? Genetic factors like you inherit a predisposition. So identical twins there is a 40% likelihood both twins would have bipolar disorder however, in fraternal twins there is only a 5-10% likelihood. According to the permission theory, what causes bipolar disorder? The theory is that low serotonin opens the door to mood disorder with norepinephrine. Depressed episodes are believed to be caused by low serotonin and low norepinephrine. However mania is believed to be caused by low serotonin but high norepinephrine. What is the treatment for bipolar disorder Lithium therapy which is very effective. 60% of patients with mania improve, but determining the correct dosage is difficult because too high a dosage in lithium can actually cause lithium intoxication which is poisoning. However, compliance is an issue that makes people not want to stay on it because it has lots of side effects like weight loss and some people don't like the side effects but there are also people who like the feeling of mania and do not want to take lithium to get rid of the mania.
