    At the very beginning I would like to thank the Almighty Allah for giving me thisopportunity to work on my first research paper. Then I would like to express my deepest

    gratitude and warmest appreciation for my faculty, Mrs. Rafia Tahseen RfT! for responding

    to all my needs and "ueries with all her patience and without whom it was "uite an

    impossible to complete this research report successfully. It is indeed a great pleasure to thank

     psychologist #a$ %arim because of her selfless efforts to assist me throughout the entire

    report. I am also grateful to my other fellow mates in class and my other respondents whose

    support instigated me greatly to carry on with the report and people who gave their time to

    fill out the "uestionnaire by sharing their views. &astly I am indebted to my parents, brother,

    cousins and each and other friends who contributed their assistance and utmost cooperation

    for keeping up with this research and without them it would have been very difficult. Thus

    my sincere appreciation to each and every one of those, whose help inspired me to complete

    the research report in every possible way.

    Most of us might not familiar with the term +'ipolar (ersonality )isorder or +'ipolar

    )isorder, it is -ust 'ecause of unawareness or negligence toward mental health, but the

     problem is one of the most common problems especially among the todays youth. 'ut the

     people are not even concern about the conse"uences of bipolar disorder, so I have chosen

    cause and effect as well as many other aspects of bipolar personality disorder among todays

    youth as the topic of my research.

    My hypothesis of the research is most of the youth are not aware about what bipolar

     personality disorder is when most of them are suffering from bipolar personality disorder, as

    they are not aware about it, they dont take necessary action to get rid of this problem,

     because of the problem they cant carry out normal daily activities or relationships. Moreover 

    most of them are treated negatively by family members, friends and relatives as well. After conducting both secondary research analy$ing different we -ournal, article and news

    letter etc as well as survey on thirty different youth based on random sampling and also an in/

    depth interview with psychologist #a$ %arim, I have found out that most of the youth are

    suffering from bipolar personality disorder, as they are not aware about it, they dont take

    necessary action to get rid of this problem, this is also hampering their daily activities and

    healthy relationship with others. Moreover most of them are treated negatively by family

    members, friends and relatives as well. In most cases symptoms of bipolar disorder is ignored

    or taken normally.

    )ntroduction #ow a day, especially in 'angladesh, most of the people are not aware about their mental

    health. 0ometimes we have to live very stressful busy life, there would be so many incidents

    which make us unhappy which could create mental illness but unfortunately most of the

     people never taken care of their mental health, so in such cases when they caught by any

    mental illness, because of negligence it could be developed gradually and turn out into many

    disorders. Most of the youth are the victims of different mental illness cause due to the the

    changing surroundings or any incidents that causes mental stress which may lead to mental

    illness. My topic for the research is one of the ma-or mental illnesses among todays youth

    which is bipolar personality disorder or bipolar disorder, its cause and effect as well as

    different aspects.

    'ipolar disorder is characteri$ed by dramatic, intense shifts in mood. 1hen in a down cycle,

    withdrawal, sadness, and despair are hallmarks of the depression many bipolar people face.

    2n an upswing, extroversion, high energy, and intense -oy may accompany what is called the

    manic period. )ifferent people cycle at different rates 3 some moods can last weeks or 

    months, others -ust a few days. At times, symptoms and mood shifts may be so severe that the

    individual cannot carry out normal daily activities or relationships. 4ann, M., n.d.!

    is said that if the 'ipolar )isease is not treated, there is 567 chance of dying by suicide.

    'ipolar )isorder typically comes about in late adolescence or early adulthood and is said to

     be the third ma-or killer among people aged 56/86 years.About 'ipolar (ersonality, n.d.!

    'ipolar disorder is the fifth leading cause of disability worldwide. It is the ninth leading cause

    of years lost to death or disability worldwide. The number of individuals with bipolar 

    disorder who commit suicide is 9: times higher than that of the general population. (eople

    who have bipolar disorder are at a higher risk of also suffering from substance abuse and

    other mental health problems. Males may develop bipolar disorder earlier in life compared to

    females. 1e 'ring )octors %nowledge To you. 8:58!

    $

    'ipolar personality disorder which is also well known as bipolar disorder, mood disorder or 

     personality disorder is very common problem among todays youths. 'ut as mental health is

    always neglected in our country most of us even might not aware about the term +'ipolar 

     personality )isorder, when we are suffering from it. 1e might not know the symptoms and

    the conse"uences of the problem so that in most cases it is neglected or taken normally and

    that why its develop gradually and causes many other mental diseases and it might lead the

    situation beyond control. 0o everyone should know more about 'ipolar (ersonality )isorder,

    its symptoms, reasons, how does it affects daily life and healthy relationship with others and

    also how to get rid of this problem.

    ypes of Bipolar Personality Disorder

    'ipolar (ersonality )isorder has divided into two ma-or parts.

     

    Stage: 1 Stage: 2

    )epressive ;pisode is the initial stage of bipolar personality disorder, In this stage because of 

    the negligence or unawareness people take the symptoms normally or they do not care about

    this as a result the disease develop gradually and turn in to manic episode, Manic episode is

    the stage where the situation goes beyond control. (eople can easily get rid of this problem

    when it is at depressive episode but it is really difficult to get rid of this problem when it

    reaches at manic episode. In most cases depressive episode is taken normally or ignored so

    that is why problem develop gradually and turned into manic episode, #. %arim, (ersonal

    (eople should be concern about bipolar personality disorder from the very beginning and my

    focus of the research is on depressive episode, but people should about both depressive as

    well as manic episode.

    Reason of Bipolar Personality Disorder%

    )octors donCt completely understand the causes of bipolar disorder. 'ut theyCve gained a

    greater understanding in the past 5: years of the bipolar spectrum, which includes the elated

    highs of mania to the lows of ma-or depression, along with various mood states between these

    two extremes. ;xperts do believe that bipolar disorder often runs in families, and there is a

    genetic component to this mood disorder. There is also growing evidence that environment

    and lifestyle issues have an effect on the disorderCs severity. 0tressful life events // or alcohol

    or drug abuse // can make bipolar disorder more difficult to treat. Abraham, 8:5:!

    high rate of substance abuse or dependence co/occurring with bipolar disorder. The effects of

    • medical side effects from prolonged abuse of drugs, alcohol or prescriptions

    • repetitive self/mutilation or other self/harming behaviors

    • suicide, in extreme cases

    The length of the manic and depressive episodes also takes a toll on the family, friends and

    co/workers of those who suffer with bipolar disorder. 1eeks of unpredictable behavior by a

     person with manic depression make it difficult to rely on the sufferer to fulfill obligations,

    and often times loved ones struggle to maintain a sense of security. Timberline %nolls, n.d.!

    Cause & Efect o Bipolar Personality Disorder among’

    1)

    Most of the youth are not aware about what bipolar personality disorder is when most of them

    are suffering from bipolar personality disorder, as they are not aware about it, they dont take

    necessary action to get rid of this problem, because of the problem they cant carry out

    normal daily activities or relationships. Moreover most of them are treated negatively by

    family members, friends and relatives as well.

    In most cases symptoms of bipolar personality disorder taken normally or ignored, moreover

    in our country mental health is always neglected, so that it develops gradually. 'ipolar

     personality disorder or bipolar disorder is very common among todays youth but because of

    the negligence or unawareness people do not take necessary action at the right time, 0o I m

    expecting that I could prove my hypothesis through my research that ma-ority of the todays

    youths are suffering from bipolar personality disorder. This is affecting their daily activitiesas well as relationship.

    (ethodology%

    Methodology is the systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within

    a discipline or a particular procedure or set of procedures. It consists of both primary and

    secondary data. or this research I have used two kind of method. 2ne is primary method and

    another one is secondary method. In primary method I have conducted a survey which had a

    sample si$e of thirty. This survey has been conducted on the students of #orth 0outh

    Fniversity, my relatives and neighbor. My target group was youth age between 5G to 86. I

    have conducted and in depth interview with a psychologist. In secondary method I have gone

    through some of the literature from web -ournals, article, newsletter, blog etc.

    Primary data%

    In primary data collection, I collected the data myself by surveying H: respondents who are

    youth. All the respondents aged from 5G/86. or primary data, I met the respondents and

     provided them with "uestionnaires to collect appropriate information about my "ueries.

    The "uestionnaire that was used to carry out the research work had thirteen "uestions in total.

    1here first seven "uestions were to test bipolar personality and its level among my

    respondents, three "uestions among rest of five "uestions were multiple choices, one was

    close ended and the last one was open/ended "uestion.

    Secondary data%

    0econdary data is data that has already been collected by someone else for a different purpose

    and is available to outside users. or secondary data I have browsed the internet and used

    search engines like oogle and JahooK 0earch. I followed several links to various websites

    that had information about the bipolar personality disorder or bipolar disorder. )ue to

    convenience and abundance of information on the Internet, I did not extend my secondary

    research to any other sources. All the web/addresses are mentioned in the references list.

    This section mostly highlights my ma-or findings through which it has been possible to prove

    whether my hypothesis is correct or not.

     pressure, moreover the negligence about mental health leads many mental illness and among

    all the mental illnesses bipolar personality disorder is very common, specially the youth are

    victims of it, necessary action should be taken at the initial stage before it turn in to manic

    episode. 'ecause it is easily curable at depressive episode rather than manic episode, manic

    episode is the stage where the whole situation goes beyond control. I have already mentioned

    that bipolar personality disorder is said to be the third ma-or killer, it might not kill physically

     but it damages persons potentially, interest to do any work. It is also known as the fifth ma-or 

    reason of disability worldwide, 'angladesh is not exceptional, here in 'angladesh bipolar

     personality disorder is very common and victims are mostly youth. Among all the mentalillness bipolar personality disorder is most common. #. %arim, (ersonal

    saying that bipolar personality disorder is the third ma-or killer worldwide, fifth leading

    reasons for disability but here my respondents do not considered it as a problem, It is -ust

     because of their negligence and unawareness. If they were aware about the problem and how

    Cause & Efect o Bipolar Personality Disorder among’

    Through my research I have found out that Most of the people are not aware about the bipolar 

     personality disorder which is considered as the third ma-or killer worldwide even in

    'angladesh most of the our youth, who are considered as future leader, are suffering from

     bipolar personality disorder, Their social as well as family life is being hampered. ;ven an

    individuals productivity level goes down, daily activities hampered greatly because of

     bipolar disorder* people get frustrated which is the great barrier to their success. (eople

    around the person get irritated by the persons behavior, healthy relationship with family

    member, friends, and relatives hamper greatly. Interesting findings from my research is

     people believe that it hampers greatly a persons healthy relationship but most of them who

     believe it is creating many problem, dont considered it as mental illness. My survey is

    showing that very few people considered it as mental illness and among those very few,

     people some people think it does not re"uire any treatment. It is -ust because of the

    unawareness about the disease and its conse"uences and also the negligence about mental

    health.

    My hypothesis was most of the youth are not aware about what bipolar personality disorder

    is when most of them are suffering from bipolar personality disorder, as they are not aware

    about it, they dont take necessary action to get rid of this problem, because of the problem

    they cant carry out normal daily activities or relationships. Moreover most of them are

    treated negatively by family members, friends and relatives as well.

    Though my research findings I can easily say that hypothesis of the research has proven.

    'ecause most of youth in my sample are suffering from bipolar personality disorder. 1hich

    reflecting the overall situation of todays youth. Most of them dont even aware about the

     problem* they dont even consider it as a problem where they are facing so many difficulties

    in their daily activities as well as relationship because of bipolar disorder. In most cases the

    symptoms of the bipolar personality disorder is ignored or the abnormal behavior due to

     bipolar disorder taken normally. Thus it can be concluded that through my primary and

    secondary research my hypothesis agreed to be correct.

    Recommendation%

    irst of all increasing awareness is very important, in our country mental health is always

    neglected, people are not aware about their mental health. ;veryone should take care of their

    mental health, if any abnormality noticed in a persons behavior, necessary action should be

    taken at the very beginning. (eople should learn more about bipolar personality disorder.

    If any symptoms of bipolar personality disorder or any abnormality is seen in any persons

     behavior, it should not be ignored or taken normally or lightly. The person should

    immediately consult with psychologist.
