Some of the possible triggers of Bipolar Disorder are you stop taking your medication, you start misusing alcohol or drugs, you do not have a regular sleep schedule. Some other triggers that can cause Bipolar are seasonal changes, illness, disagreement with family or friends, Holidays can also lead to an episode. Some others also include death of a love one, marriage, beginning school and even starting a new job.
A great way to figure out what your triggers are is to keep a diary of moods mainly a chart that can keep track of your moods and help you determine some patterns that may be noticed. It is very hard to do this alone, one way to figure out your triggers is maybe talking to a friend or therapist that can give an honest opinion.
Once you find out some of the triggers that cause an episode you can try to avoid these triggers. Other triggers can be approached carefully if you do not have any control over them. These triggers include illness, death to a love one, starting a new job or school. You just have to approach them carefully and keep open mind.
Next time I will write about treatments for Bipolar Disorder. So come back soon.
