Bipolar disorders are recurrent, chronic mood disorders characterised by periods of elevated mood and periods of depression that affect about 1% of Australians.
There are several types (bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorders) and presentations, such as mixed episodes and rapid cycling.
The cause is unclear but certainly multifactorial. Early diagnosis is difficult, and misdiagnosis is common, which can result in suboptimal management and adverse outcomes for the patient.
This course is designed for nurses. The therapeutic relationship that nurses develop with their patients means they are ideally placed to detect or suspect a bipolar disorder.
There are 3 modules in this course.
This module, Module 1, covers the various types, presentations, and components of bipolar disease, and the assessment required for diagnosis in adults.
Module 2 covers the management of bipolar disorders in adults.
Module 3 discusses the characteristics of the pharmacological treatment used in bipolar disorders in adults.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
