Court tryOlltS Oct. 9 uni.... . © Cards defeat Wheeler MEN’S WEAR Heppner Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, affects about 3 million people in the United States. Men and women seem to be affected equally, with the onset of disorder occurring most often between the ages of 25 and 35. Bipolar illness tends to be cyclical. Periods of over activity and excitement (mania) alternate with periods of deep depression. The condition is re current and may worsen over time. While there is no directly identifiable cause for bipolar dis order, it is thought that this con dition may be brought on by ex treme stress, severe infection, a stroke, or possibly injury to the brain. The first medication used with some degree of success against acute mania and the manic phase of bipolar disorder is lithium , a medicine that is thought to work by stabilizing the mood. In spite of the success of lithium in con trolling mood swings, as many as 40 to 50 percent of individuals do not respond to the drug. Oth ers complain of bothersome side effects such as fatigue, weight gain, mild tremors, and exces sive urination. Other medicines are now being used as alterna tives to lithium, with some suc cess, against manic depression. These include three seizure medi cines: cambamazapine ( Tegre tol ® ), divalproex ( Depakote ®), and valproic acid ( Depakene ®).
