Ayisiyo iSigaba, Mama: Xa ulutsha luPhila ngesifo esiBipolar

“Ndaphinda ndacima. Ndahamba ndangena ezingubeni.Omnye umzuzu bendijikeleza, kwaye ngomzuzu olandelayo ingqondo yam ibizirhuqa ijikeleze isangqa, njengenja endala, enesifo samathambo izama ukulala phantsi. Ndaye ndacimela ndalala, kodwa andilali ngendlela olala ngayo qho ebusuku. Ubuthongo obude, obumnyama apho ungaphuphiyo konke konke. ”

Ngo-2015, uJennifer Niven wabhala inoveli yabantu abadala eyathengiswa kakhulu ethi, “Zonke Iindawo Eziqaqambileyo.” Ngokusekwe kwibali eliyinyani, incwadi ijikeleze kwinkwenkwe eneminyaka eli-17 ubudala, uTheodore Finch, uneengxaki zokuziphatha kunye nembono yokuzibulala. Ibali lilandela ukugqabhuka komsindo kaFinch esikolweni, uxinzelelo lweziganeko, kunye nokusokola notata oxhaphazayo kunye nolawulo lwesikolo olungasebenzisaniyo. Le noveli yenye yezokuqala ukubonakaliswa kokuphazamiseka kwengqondo kwi-bipolar kuluntu ngokubanzi.

Ngelishwa, ulutsha oluninzi olunale ngxaki lunamava afanayo. KuDana *, konke kwaqala xa ugqirha wakhe wamazinyo waqaphela ukuba wayegaya amazinyo akhe ebuthongweni. Wathunyelwa kwangoko kugqirha wemithambo-luvo ecinga ukuba unengxaki yokuxhuzula. Kwiminyaka eyalandelayo, emva kokuxilongwa ngokungalunganga, ukulaliswa esibhedlele, kunye nemizamo eqhubekayo ethathwa ngokungathí sina, uDana wafunyaniswa enesifo se-bipolar eneminyaka eli-16. indlela yokuziphatha. Banqula kakhulu kwaye bakholelwa ukuba ndiphenjelelwa nguMtyholi. ”

IZiko lezeNzululwazi ngezeMpilo eSunnybrook eToronto, eKhanada, linikela ingxelo yokuba isi-2 ukuya kwisi-5 ekhulwini sabakwishumi elivisayo banengxaki yokuphazamiseka engqondweni. Oku kuyafana nezinga leziganeko kubantu abadala, eliqikelelwa ukuba lingange-2.8 yepesenti. Ngapha koko, ulutsha olunenqanaba lokuqala elinxulumene nesi sifo linamaxesha amahlanu kuye kwali-10 amathuba okuchongwa kunabantu ngokubanzi. Nangona ukungaziphathi kakuhle kuyindawo yesine yokukhubazeka kulutsha kwihlabathi liphela, abantu abancinci abafuna uncedo kunqabile ukuba bafumane inkxaso eyoneleyo.

KuMax * (bona / wabo), okhe waphila ngengxaki yokuphazamiseka engqondweni ukususela oko babekwishumi elivisayo, ukufumana ukhathalelo olufanelekileyo kuthintelwe libala lasekuhlaleni kunye nelangaphakathi. Babelane: "Wonke umntu, kubandakanya nam, wazigatya iziqendu zam 'njengesiqendu solutsha'. Abazali bam bebengafuni ukuba ndifunyanwe de ndikhule kuba becinga ukuba oko kuya konakalisa ubuntwana bam. ”

Ingxaki yebipolar ibonakaliswa ngamanye amaxesha oxinzelelo kunye ne-mania, ngamanqanaba esiqhelo esiqhelekileyo phakathi. Ijenali yoNesi oNyanga ngengqondo inika ingxelo yokuba ebantwaneni ukuphazamiseka kubonakaliswa kukucaphuka okuphezulu kunye neziqendu zomntu zokudakumba ezide kakhulu kunesiqhelo okanye ngebhayisikile ekhawulezayo. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko behamba kwinqanaba lokufikisa, iimpawu zabo zithatha ukufana ngokusondeleyo nefomathi yabantu abadala yokugula.

Chloe Leon, ugqirha wezifo zengqondo e-The Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) eToronto, uchaze umahluko phakathi kokutshintsha kwemeko yokufikisa kunye nokuguquguquka kwengqondo okuguquguqukayo: eendaba kunye nabantu abadumileyo. Uninzi lwabantu lucinga ngebipolar njengokutshintsha kwemood okanye utshintsho olukhawulezileyo kwiimvakalelo ngaphakathi kwemizuzu okanye iiyure. Ukuchongwa okwenyani kwahluke kakhulu, kwaye oko kuthetha ukuba imeko esezantsi (yokudakumba) ikhona yonke imihla yonke imini ubuncinci iiveki ezimbini okanye nangaphezulu. Kwangokunjalo, inqanaba eliphezulu (lendoda) likhona okungenani iintsuku ezine kwi-bipolar II, kwaye iveki epheleleyo ye-bipolar I. ”

Phantse iipesenti ezingama-90 zolutsha ezifunyaniswe zinengxaki yokuphazamiseka kwengqondo kunye nazo zineempawu ezikhoyo zoxinzelelo okanye i-ADHD, ezenza ukuxilongwa kube nzima ngakumbi. Ukuxilongwa ngokungachanekanga kuyingozi ngakumbi kuba ezinye iziyobisi ziyaziwa ukuba zibangela iziqendu zomntu. Oku kuyinyaniso kuDana: “Isazi ngengqondo sathi ndine-ADHD noxinzelelo saza sandibeka eRitalin naseZoloft. Ndafunda kamva ebomini ukuba ezi ziyobisi zazizoyike kakhulu ingqondo yam kwaye zandenza ndangumntu o-hypomanic ngaphezulu kweminyaka emibini. ”

Ukwaziswa phakathi kwabazali nasesikolweni akuxhaphakanga, ngokuyinxenye kungenxa yokuba uninzi lwabantu abanesi sigulo banokubonakala 'behlangene' kakhulu ngexesha lezigaba zabo zobuntu. KuDana, ithuba lokugula kwakhe lalingenakucingeleka kwabanye ngenxa yeempumelelo zakhe eziphezulu eyunivesithi njengomfundi ophambili ophindwe kathathu one-As ngqo.

Nangona kunjalo, uLeon ukholelwa ukuba likho ithemba. Ukuncokola nabazali bobutsha abanengxaki yokuphazamiseka engqondweni kubalulekile ukuze baqiniseke ukuba bayabuqonda ubunzima bokugula. Kananjalo, umsebenzi uyenziwa kwizikolo ezininzi ngokusebenzisana noogqirha kunye noonontlalontle ukuqinisekisa ukuba abafundi bafumana indawo yokuhlala efanelekileyo ukuba baphumelele ezifundweni nakwezentlalo.

Amagama atshintshiwe.
