Baby not sleeping properly?
If your child is not able to sleep properly, his behavior is changing. If he has started eating too much or less than before, then get alerted. These are not some minor problems but symptoms of a serious mental illness. This disease is called bipolar disorder. The cases of this disease are increasing continuously in children. The matter of concern is that in many cases the parents do not even know that their child has this disease. In such a situation, the symptoms keep on increasing and the condition of the child becomes serious. In such a situation, treatment also becomes very difficult. In such a situation, it is important for you to know what is bipolar disorder disease and how it can be prevented. To know about this disease, we have talked to psychiatrists.
Dr. Om Prakash, Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Delhi's Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (Ihbas), told that bipolar disorder is a mental problem. In which there is a rapid change in the thoughts that come in the person's mind. Cases of this problem also come in children. Sleep patterns can also change due to bipolar disorder. Due to this, you may have to face trouble in sleeping.
Dr. Om Prakash explains that there are two phases of manic and depression in bipolar disorder. Which are called manic episodes and depression episodes. In many cases, these symptoms can also come together and are also serious. To identify bipolar disorder, it is necessary to know the symptoms of manic and depression.
These symptoms are seen when there is a manic episode in children.

Why does this disease happen
Dr. AK Vishwakarma of the Department of Psychiatry at United District Hospital explains that due to bipolar disorder, there is a lot of impact on the life of the child. There is a change in his behaviour. Symptoms of depression also come, whose phase can last longer.
Nothing can be said clearly about the reasons for which this disease occurs, but in some cases, due to genetic reasons and changes in brain function, bipolar disorder occurs.
How to identify
Tests are done to identify this disease. Physical test, blood test or scan can be done in this. Along with this, it is also ascertained whether there is any history of the disease in the family. If the investigation reveals that the child has bipolar disorder, then a psychiatric doctor is consulted for its treatment. This disease is controlled by medicines, therapy and anti-depression medicine. If the parents feel that their child has symptoms of this disease, then they should be treated immediately.
