International Conference on Bipolar Disorder: Depression and Psychiatry

About Conference

On behalf of Organizing Committee we invite all the participants from all part of the world to attend the Bipolar conference 2018 entitled “Bipolar Disorder:  Depression and Psychiatry” scheduled during November 05-06, 2018 at Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Bipolar conference 2018 is the leading conference dedicated to Psychiatrists and Psychological researchers with the theme “Innovating combats towards Depression and Psychiatry”

Goal of Bipolar 2018  is to deliver an outstanding program for exchange of ideas and authoritative views by leading scientists which covers the entire spectrum of research in Psychiatry and Mental Health and share the cross-cultural experiences of various treatment procedures.

Many studies over the years, including reports from presidential commissions, surgeons general the Council of Graduate Medical Education, and the Institute of Medicine, attest to the dire shortage of psychiatrists relative to the almost 68% of our nation’s sufferers who are deemed in need of care.

Projections from the studies mentioned above estimate a need for 30,000 by psychiatrists by 2018 but currently there are about 7000. Resulting in part from recent efforts by the American Academy of Psychiatry we will see a modest 30% increase in the number of medical students and general psychiatry residents choosing psychiatry as a career.

Why to attend?

New Updates Bipolar and Psychiatry

Understanding Anxiety at the Brain Circuit Level

According to a report by the world health organization, close to 1 in 10 human beings inside the global are stricken by tension and/or despair. Between 1990 and 2013 the amount has been almost doubled from 416 to 615 million

Corticotrophin freeing hormone (CRH) signaling in dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental location (VTA) can suppress tension. Researchers have elevated on those findings, providing more mechanistic insights into the “anxiolytic” CRH circuit. The scientists had been described how the circuit is going to originate within the extended amygdala, in which neurons of GABAergic population produce CRH. They traced those neurons and saw that they project down to a vicinity of the midbrain known as the VTA, one of the primary dopamine-generating areas of the mind. The VTA is understood to play a key function in praise and dependency, but here the authors give an explanation for how CRH and dopamine have interaction in tension-associated behavior.

The dopaminergic VTA neurons have a projection of CRH-containing extended amygdala goal CRH receptors. As a cease result, this circuit can modify dopaminergic transmission and in turn, emotional behavior. “We recognize that CRH is a chief driver of the stress response and that a hyperactive CRH system is implicated in neuropsychiatric pathologies inclusive of temper and tension issues. but, in this examine, we may want to display that CRH does no longer always act as an aversive, pressure-inducing neuropeptide. In reality, particular CRH circuits are required to maintain a positive affective nation below every day, stress-unfastened conditions.”

“We have been amazed to find that a subset of GABAergic CRH neurons within the prolonged amygdala convey dendritic spines and co-explicit the postsynaptic density protein. These are the characteristics which are normally visible in excitatory, glutamatergic neurons.”

What is psychosis? 

Psychosis is an umbrella term; it the way that a man or woman has sensory experiences of things that don’t exist and/or beliefs without a basis in reality.

at some point in a psychotic episode, an individual may additionally experience hallucinations and/or delusions. they’ll see or listen to things that do not exist.

this could be exceptionally frightening for the character and, occasionally, the symptoms can cause them to lash out and harm themselves or others.

Psychosis is classically related to schizophrenia spectrum problems, and, although there are different signs and symptoms, one of the defining criteria for schizophrenia is the presence of psychosis.

signs and symptoms of psychosis

The traditional signs and signs of psychosis are:

•        Hallucinations – listening to, seeing, or feeling things that don’t exist

•        Delusions – fake ideals, especially based totally on worry or suspicion of factors that aren’t actual

•        Disorganization – in idea, speech, or behavior

•        Catatonia – unresponsiveness

•        Difficulty concentrating

relying on the motive, psychosis can become on speedy or slowly. The same is the case in schizophrenia, despite the fact that signs and symptoms may have a slow onset and start with milder psychosis, some human beings can experience a speedy transition returned to psychosis in the event that they forestall taking their medication.

The milder, preliminary signs of psychosis may include:

•        feelings of suspicion

•        general anxiety

•        Distorted perceptions

•        despair

•        Obsessive wondering

•        Sleep problems

Hallucinations can affect any of the senses (sight, sound, smell, flavor, and touch) within the man or woman with psychosis, but in approximately two-thirds of sufferers with schizophrenia, hallucinations are auditory – hearing things and believing them to be real once they do no longer exist.

the following auditory hallucinations are not unusual:

•        listening to numerous voices speaking, frequently negatively, about the affected person

•        A voice giving a remark on what the patient is doing

•        A voice repeating what the affected person is thinking

Advances in Psychiatry Disorder Treatments

Psychiatry, depression and mental health issues are the most prevailing, devastating and life taking problems in most of the people. It might be ca be used due to some day to day changes in lifestyle, peer pressure, work stress, and lot more. According to some scientists it might even be caused due to some changes in the genes and is said that genes also hold the key for the cause of the psychiatric disorders and mental health issues.

Over the past many years the sciences have evolved so well that there are a treatment and cure for almost all the disorders and diseases. Innovative treatments of mental health and psychiatric disorders have emerged in both the private and public sector due to the expansion in research.

Today, the tests analyze genes that show the effectiveness of  some drugs will be and whether they are prone to major side effects by looking for genes that influence :

• How efficiently a particular drug will be chemically broken down after it is taken.
• How likely the drug will slow “reuptake” of the neurotransmitter serotonin, thereby prolonging stimulation of serotonergic neurons that elevate mood.
• Whether receptors for serotonin are more or less active. Less active receptors correlate with increased side effects of many Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) commonly used as antidepressants.

clinical trials indicate that these tests doubles the effectiveness of drug treatments for depression and reduces the side effects. Psychopharmacogenomic tests have also just come online for drugs that treat anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. The tests are far from perfect, and currently only address a few neurotransmitter systems and drug metabolic pathways, but progress is rapid.

Advances have been so promising that I predict genetic screening will be a routine first step in prescribing drugs for mental conditions within ten years.

Hence this Psychopharmacogenomic program is available in many medical schools and hospitals and one can avail the under the expert doctors. Hence these advances thus help in the cure of psychiatric diseases. So why suffer in silences when you can cure it.

EPILEPSY 

Epilepsy is a neurological Disorder generally characterized as epileptic seizures. These epileptic seizures can vary from a short span of time to a very long period. The actual reason of seizures is unknown but is expected to be caused due to brain injury, brain stroke, brain tumor, brain infection or due to some defect in the brain at the time of birth. Genetic mutations and abnormal neuronal activity also result of epilepsy. Epilepsy is considered to be long-term recur able seizure’s. Epilepsy can be caused by genetic, congenital, or developmental conditions which are more common among younger people, while brain tumors and strokes are mostly seen among older people.

Diagnosis:

The diagnosis of epilepsy is done by the careful observation of the seizures its recurrent behavior and causes of seizure. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is used for the diagnosis of epilepsy which is used to study the abnormal patterns of the brain waves. Neuroimaging (CT scan or MRI) is also used to study the structure of the brain.

Treating of epilepsy:

• Recognize seizure symptoms
• Make a seizure response plan
• Apply first aid to the person undergoing a seizure
• Protect the person suffering from seizure from the accident
• Call emergency services if necessary

Managing Epilepsy by medication:

• Talk to your doctor about how you’ll treat your epilepsy
• Consider Vagus Nerve Stimulation
• Change your diet
• Talk to your doctor about surgical options

Epilepsy is usually treated with daily medication once a seizure has occurred, self-management, following special diet, implantation of a neurostimulator, or neurosurgery is really helpful to treat epilepsy.

                                                     Why Experience Blues always when you have Rainbow

Bipolar disorder is a chronic and recurrent illness, which represents a major public health problem, and can lead to incomplete functional recovery, social/family disruptions, and cognitive impairment, in addition to increased mortality.

The WHO’s Global Burden of Disease Study ranks bipolar disorder as the sixth cause of years lost to disability.

Every person experiences blues at a point in time, but it depends on us how we overcome those tough times. Without experiencing blues our life tends to be incomplete because it is at this point in time you learn to build yourself strong by overcoming them. Depression is nothing but a mental illness that affects our thoughts, feelings and our behavior. Depression causes sadness, but there is a huge difference between depression and sadness or grief. Fortunately, depression is treatable, but one should have the determination to overcome it.

Developmental model: Duffy et al 2010 showed that individuals at familial risk for Bipolar Disorder develop the illness in a forward sequence of clinical stages – evolving from non-mood disorders followed by minor mood disorders, then major mood disorders, and finally Bipolar Disorder.

Here are the steps to treat depression:

·Diagnostic Evaluation: In this, a physical test and an interview are done with the patient to know the reason for depression because it might be caused due to some health issues such as thyroid or family history or even environmental problems.

·Psychotherapy: Therapy which includes talk as the key to cure the depression is psychotherapy. These days Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is in demand for the treatment of depression.

·Medication: Medicines such as anti-depressants are prescribed to us for the cure of depression. These anti-depressants are not habit forming and can be used for the betterment and cure of depression.

·Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT): This treatment is in focus for patients with severe depression and Bipolar Disorder. It includes electrical stimulation of the brain.

Out of all these, the best way to overcome depression is self-help and coping. One should be determined enough to cope up with it and to overcome depression. It includes regular exercises, eating healthy, taking a good nap, etc. One should never hesitate to seek mental help; this will be the first step in the curing of depression.

What is CBT?

Cognitive behavior therapy is the therapy which helps in the treatment of Depression but now is used for a varied treatment of mental health. Cognitive behavior therapy commonly known as CBT is a treatment focusing mainly on depression, anxiety disorder, and mental health issues to improve the thought process of a person. Cognitive behavior therapy is a bit like the age-old psychotherapy but due to the advances in research, CBT is more effective.

During a Cognitive behavior therapy, the therapists understand the behavior of the patient. Treatment involves developing more balanced ways to respond to stress. Ideally, these new responses will help minimize or eliminate the troubling behavior or disorder. One can even avail free telephonic therapy over a phone call as these days many therapists are providing the facility of treatment over a call.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is widely used to treat several disorders. These disorders and conditions include:

·         antisocial behaviors

·         anxiety disorders

·         attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

·         bipolar disorder

·         conduct disorder

·         depression

·         eating disorders

·         general stress

·         personality disorders

·         phobias

·         schizophrenia

·         sexual disorders

·         sleep disorders

·         social skill problems

·         substance abuse

One should never ignore these feelings of depression, anxiety, and mental illness because if they worsen they happen to destroy the personality of the person hence making the life of a person miserable. Therefore, it is evident that depression and anxiety disorders are curable if you can take a prior step by consulting a therapist and taking medication.

Just Dispel Out Of It 

To be healthy as a whole Mental Wellness plays a role. Mental health plays a major role from childhood to adulthood. It is nothing but a psychological well-being, the process to dispel out the mental illness and to stay healthy both physically and mentally. Mental Health includes realizing one’s own abilities, cope up with the disabilities and stress, being productive and contribute effectively to the society. During the course of time if a person is affected with mental illness it would affect the thinking, mood, and behavior of the person. Some of the factors affecting mental health are:

·         Biological factors such as genes

·         Life experiences such as abuse

·         Mental illness history in the family

One of the major problems of mental illness is not being able to admit the illness and seek for help. It is hidden deep inside the mind, builds and then destroys the person completely. It kills a lot of people outraging suicidal thoughts and self-harm.

Now the Question is why to suffer in silence when you can get rid of it. Just snap out of the Mental Illness.

Sure we can seek help, receive medication and work on changing our mentality, but this takes time and effort. A doctor can lead you into the hazy world of medication but YOU can tell them how you are feeling, YOU tell them that you are experiencing mental issues, not the other way around. People suffer in silence afraid of losing their jobs, their friends, and their dignity. People are being mentally ill one way or the other daily. It’s our ability and determination that would bring us out of this devastating mental illness. Therefore it is a serious illness and should anyone confide in you; please offer your full help and support. After all, everybody needs somebody sometimes.

It is never too late to work being healthiest you.

Bipolar an invisible disease: make it visible 

Bipolar disorder is a chronic and recurrent illness, which represents a major public health problem, and can lead to incomplete functional recovery, social/family disruptions, and cognitive impairment, in addition to increased mortality.  Bipolar disorder also known as manic depression causes elevated levels of mood and sometimes leads to symptoms of psychosis. It even causes depression that may affect the person’s personal as well as professional life thus causing a disaster. The reasons for this disorder are generally not known but environmental and genetic factors do play a vital role. The environmental factors can be a history of childhood sex abuse and prone to depression. However genetic factors also have a role in bipolar disorder but in very few cases. The elevated levels of mood are generally characterized as mania or hypomania. The symptoms of mania can be as follows:

· Feeling happy for a very long period

· Decreased sleep

· Restlessness

·  Easily distracted

·  Engaging in risky behavior, such as having impulsive sex, gambling with life savings, or going on big spending sprees

Depression is also considered as one of the symptoms of bipolar disorder. It includes:

· Feeling sad for a longer period

· Being alone and away from the peer group

· Change in appetite

· Suicidal thoughts

The prevention can be done by consulting a proper expert and talking about the issue. It also includes clinical psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, electroconvulsive therapy and medication. One should never hesitate to consult a psychiatrist or therapist. Let’s make this invisible disease a visible one.

The WHO’s Global Burden of Disease Study ranks bipolar disorder as the sixth cause of years lost to disability.

Working memory might be more flexible than previously thought 

Defeating the thought that working memory has fixed limits, a different study recommends that these limits change to the task one is performing. You can read this sentence from beginning to end without losing sight of its meaning thanks to your working memory. This system temporarily stores information relevant to any task you are currently doing. However, the more objects you try to keep in working memory at the same time, the worse the quality of each of the resulting memories will be.

For a long time,  it has been argued that this phenomenon, known as the established size effect, occurs because the brain devotes a fixed amount of neural resources to working memory. But this explanation strives to consider for some experimental results. It also does not explain why the brain simply will not recruit more resources each time it has more objects to remember. After all, your heart does something similar by beating faster each time your physical activity increases.

They converted this idea into a computational model and tested it on data from nine previously published experiments. In those experiments, human subjects memorized the colors of different numbers of objects. When asked to reproduce these colors as accurately as possible, the quality of their responses was negatively affected by the number of objects in memory.

Working memory seems to be more flexible than previously thought. If that is approved, it is probable to improve working memory and thought by giving rewards or improving the recognized importance of a task.

The Diet association with the Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, is a brain disorder which is characterized by abnormal mood episodes with highs and lows. These episodes can range from very mild to the extreme depending on their intensity and severity.There is no specific diet for bipolar but some foods are strongly recommended to avoid if you have bipolar disorder as they can increase the severity of the mood episodes. Too much Caffeine consumption is one of them as they lead to insomnia (unable to sleep). During depressive episodes, caffeine may boost up your mood but in the long run, they disrupt sleep and cause nervousness and worsen high blood pressure.

In addition to the consumption of caffeine, high-fat meals including red meat, saturated fats, trans fats, and simple carbohydrates are also recommended to avoid. Earlier, the reason was considered as the difficulties and delay in the absorption of bipolar medication due to high-fat meals but does not cause any symptoms of the bipolar disorder. However recent advances in the research have shown that nitrates, chemicals used to cure meats such as beef jerky, salami, hot dogs and other processed meat snacks, may contribute to the manic episode. Mania is characterized by hyperactivity, euphoria, and insomnia.

It was found that people hospitalized for an episode of mania had more than three times the odds of having ever eaten nitrate-cured meats than people without a history of a serious psychiatric disorder. The researchers say that their new study adds to evidence that certain diets and potentially the amounts and types of bacteria in the gut may contribute to mania and other disorders that affect the brain.

During the course of time, numbers of genetic risk factors have been discovered that are associated with bipolar disorder and in other psychiatric conditions. However the evidence of the diet associated with the symptoms has increased the researches on environmental factors, such as diet, that may play a role. This is a great area for the future works as the researches on this association could lead to dietary interventions to help reduce the risk of various manic and depressive episodes in those who have bipolar or other psychiatric disorders.
