kupton Skrevet 11. januar 2024 Skrevet 11. januar 2024 Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects the brain and is associated with chemical imbalances and structural changes. The exact cause of bipolar disorder is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors 5 . Affected areas of the brain include the prefrontal cortex, gray matter, and hippocampus 1 . The main neurotransmitters that bipolar disorder may affect are dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine 1 .Some of the effects of bipolar disorder on the brain include: Chemical imbalance: Bipolar disorder is believed to be associated with an imbalance of neurotransmitters, which help deliver messages between areas of the brain. This imbalance may cause symptoms of bipolar disorder, but it is unclear whether the imbalance causes the disorder or occurs because of it 1 . Structural changes: Bipolar disorder has been associated with decreases in gray matter, most consistently reported in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex, and hippocampus 4 . Enlarged ventricles have also been observed in bipolar disorder patients 4 . Functional changes: Bipolar disorder can affect the functioning of the brain, leading to symptoms such as decreased impulse control, decreased control over senses, and difficulties regulating reflexes or reaction time 3 . Cognitive deficits: Bipolar disorder can cause cognitive deficits, such as memory problems, which can lead to paranoia, frustration, irritability, unregulated emotional responses, and confusion 3 . Mania-related brain changes: Mania is associated with brain changes, such as decreases in gray matter metrics, most consistently reported in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex, and hippocampus 4 . Depression-related brain changes: Depressive episodes in bipolar disorder may be associated with different brain changes than manic episodes 4 . In summary, bipolar disorder affects the brain through chemical imbalances, structural changes, functional changes, cognitive deficits, and mania-related brain changes. The exact cause of these changes remains unknown, but a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors is believed to contribute to the development of bipolar disorder 5 . 0 Siter
