Abstract
The symptoms of bipolar affective disorder, a long-term episodic mental disease, include abnormal mood swings and functional impairments. Reviewing studies on the stigma surrounding bipolar disorder, especially in the context of Indian culture, is the goal of the project. Internalized, perceived, and structural stigmas are the three basic categories of stigma. For those with bipolar disorder, stigma creates obstacles to integrating into society, getting treatment, and participating in daily life. We evaluate several qualitative research that looked at many aspects of bipolar disease, including information requirements, shared experiences and problems, workplace bullying, well-being characteristics, and the relationship between suicidality and the familial environment. The clinical, therapeutic, and demographic features of a sample of individuals with bipolar illness and healthy controls are provided. Age, BMI, WHR, depression/mania scores, age at onset, length of therapy, gender, race, marital status, occupation, education level, and family/personal psychotic history are some of the important characteristics that were examined. Age, BMI, and WHR did not significantly differ between the bipolar and control groups. Mania and sadness ratings were noticeably higher in bipolar individuals. Compared to controls, bipolar patients had a higher likelihood of being unmarried, jobless, and less educated. 13% had a personal history of psychotic illnesses, and 21.5% had a familial history. The study examines the clinical features of a patient sample and summarizes studies on the stigma and difficulties that bipolar disorder patients and their families encounter. The study looks at a patient sample's clinical characteristics and reviews research on the stigma and challenges faced by people with bipolar illness and their families
