Bipolar syndrome is a mood disorder that is characterized by changing episodes of hyperactivity and depression, that is, the person who has bipolarity can manifest, in a couple of months, for example, severe moments of aggressiveness and irritability, whileTo the next two months, the person can be submerged in a great depression.

The causes of this disorder can be many, from a chronic disease, mainly hyperthyroidism or inflammation of the thyroid gland, to the use of certain drugs responsible for leveling the balance of substances that exist in our body such as sodium or potassium.

Diabetes, meanwhile, is a disease that alters the organism, because not sufficient insulin occurs, other mechanisms are affected.People with diabetes have been found that also have bipolar disorder, hence some scientists ask if there is a connection between them.

It is true, some people with diabetes usually have very abrupt humor changes, mainly due to the difficulty of being diagnosed with this life condition, but that does not mean that they develop or have bipolarity.First of all, they must undergo a specific monthly study by all their emotional disorders, before issuing a definitive diagnosis.

It is true that if the person with diabetes has the characteristics and background to have bipolar disorder, then, diabetes can be a trigger or conditioning to suffer from the syndrome.The same goes for the individual with obesity, since it has been proven that from ten people with obesity, nine generate diabetes, so their mood should be evaluated with a view to the fact that in the future people with hypertension or dyslipidemias could also be,afflictions that develop bipolar disorder.

But ultimately, diabetes does not cause bipolarity or bipolar disorder causes diabetes;Both diseases can come to coexist, but cases are rare.

I have bipolar disorder, and with this disorder sedentary lifestyle is associated.Particularly as a psychiatrist specializing in bipolar disorder told me, the life expectancy of bipolar is 10 years less than that of average, the cause of physical activity.In my case this lack has made me overweight and this one has produced type two diabetes.Of course with an adequate diet and with physical exercise I have lost 35 kgs, and blood glucose has lowered me considerably.
That I mean by this, that diabetes can be considered from the point of view (in the Bipolar Association where I am many diabetics) a collateral disorder.
Having a little perspective and considering how difficult a TB can be diagnosed, if someone who has type two diabetes and has symptoms of sadness, decay, abulimia, desire not to go out, because they think about the possibility of going toA specialist, because he can solve with proper treatment, these symptoms, and considerably improve diabetes.
