BIPOLAR DISORDER

"Trastorn bipolar"

Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness characterized by drastic changes in mood. Affected people oscillate between episodes of euphoria and activity (manias) and periods of sadness and despair (depression).

This disorder goes beyond the emotional ups and downs that all people can experience: the symptoms are very intense, last weeks or months, have a great impact on the quality of life and can end up putting the life of the affected person at risk.

Although it is a chronic disease, it can be controlled with the appropriate treatment, which in many cases allows you to lead a normal life.


El trastorn bipolar és una malaltia mental greu que es caracteritza per canvis dràstics en l’estat d’ànim. Les persones afectades oscil·len entre episodis d’eufòria i activitat (manies) i períodes de tristor i desesperança (depressió).

Aquest trastorn va més enllà dels alts i baixos emocionals que poden experimentar totes les persones: els símptomes són molt intensos, duren setmanes o mesos, tenen un gran impacte en la qualitat de vida i poden arribar a posar en risc la vida de la persona afectada.

Tot i que és una malaltia crònica, es pot arribar a controlar amb el tractament adequat, que en molts casos permet portar una vida normal.

"There's nothing to compensate for," Azahara Nieto concludes. "In the end, food is neither a reward nor a punishment. So if I ate more today, I can continue with my life, but above all because that generates excessive and restrictive behaviors and generally ends up generating guilt about food." When we subject our body to long periods of hunger, other factors are added to the equation: from thinking about food obsessively to dysmenorrhea (loss of menstruation). Una llesca de pastís, un menú degustació o un banquet fastuós són sovint els elements que provoquen aquesta frase, com si menjar fos un delicte i la gana de l...
