<\/a>Bipolar mania and sunshine: I feel great, but I am dangerous too! <\/p><\/div>\n
I know, I know. I am the broken record. In fact, if you look at the categories on the right and click on the mania tab, you will see my summer mania entries.<\/p>\n
It may seem odd that the weather can cause such a significant change in mood, but it can.\u00a0 It’s very well documented. All of my long hypomanias have been in the summer.<\/p>\n
There are a few reasons for this:<\/p>\n
– Summer vacations.<\/p>\n
– School takes a break.<\/p>\n
– Lots of travel.<\/p>\n
– The sun makes you feel good and so you spend more time in the sun- and this affects your brain.<\/p>\n
– You may have been depressed during the winter and it’s great to finally feel so good.\u00a0 … and you miss the signs of mania.<\/p>\n
I’m sending out my yearly summer mania newsletter tomorrow as well as a link to my article from BP Magazine.<\/p>\n
Are you seeing signs of mania? If you care about someone with bipolar disorder, are they showing signs of mania?<\/p>\n
Now is the time to get help.<\/p>\n
