The mechanism and treatment of bipolar disorder based on biopsychology

Abstract. The purpose of the research is an in-depth understanding on the mechanism and therapy of bipolar disorder by using biopsychology. A full examination of the role and mechanisms underlying bipolar disorder is delivered, at all levels from genetics through neurochemical to brain circuits. Based on this, the effectiveness of three therapeutic strategies including pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)-was compared between them for treating TD at different time points to serve as a theoretical reference in clinic-treatment. The research found that biological and environmental factors were instrumental in the origins of bipolar disorder. Pharmacological, psychotherapeutic and electroconvulsive therapy offer different possibilities in the improvement of patient symptoms. Therefore, the synergistic application of multiple therapeutic approaches can improve effectiveness. The conclusion emphasizes that the integrated treatment concept of biopsychology is a new dawn for patients with bipolar disorder, which has important significance in guiding clinical work. It is hoped that the findings from this research are clinically relevant for use in establishing an optimal treatment regimen and improving quality of life among patients with bipolar disorder, which would be beneficial to a wide range of sufferers.
