5. Counteracting Mania
Mania is a symptom which is commonly associated with bipolar disorder, a form of depression which is commonly characterized by experiencing very high “highs” followed by very “low” bouts of depression – and the patient can switch between the two with no seeming warning or precursors.
If you suspect that you or someone you know might be suffering from bipolar disorder, then you should seek medical attention as soon as possible: It is not the kind of medical condition that you can control without medical intervention and trying to treat it yourself could prove to do more harm than good.
BCAA’s have shown a lot of promise in clinical studies when it comes to counteracting the symptoms of mania, or the high phase of bipolar disorder.
During this phase, the person suffering from bipolar disorder feels like they are invincible and can do anything – and rash, irresponsible life decisions are common.
See a doctor if you suspect bipolar disorder, and ask them if BCAA’s could be beneficial for you.
