How Positive Emotions Help Us 
 
Positive emotions balance out negative ones. Positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness, attention, and memory. They help us take in more information, hold several ideas in mind at once, and understand how different ideas relate to each other. When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities, we are more able to learn and build on our skills. That leads to doing better on tasks and tests. People who have plenty of positive emotions in their everyday lives tend to be happier, healthier, learn better, and get along well with others.

How Negative Emotions Help Us 
 
Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with. For example, fear can alert us to possible danger. It's a signal that we might need to protect ourselves. Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes, crossing a boundary, or violating our trust. Anger can be a signal that we might need to act on our own behalf. As human beings, feeling sad, stressed out, anxious, afraid is a natural consequence of daily events. Furthermore, it is acceptable to feel that way. 
 If we always tell ourselves to smile when all we want to do is cry, we are psychologically mistreating ourselves, which on the long run will negatively impact our psychological welfare. 
 
Negative emotions make us aware! Negative emotions exist for a reason. They protect us, makes us aware of dangers,and let us know something is not working for us. For instance, fear help us react to danger, anxiety make us more aware of potential threats around us, and guilt make us reconsider past actions that may have been harmful to others and make amends with them (Rosen, 2008; Tibbetts, 2003).   
Negativity is a motivator! Negative emotions however, serve as a motivator. They tell us we are not happy with the path our lives are taking and when they reach a certain level of intensity, they motivate us to act. Therefore, we should listen to them as soon as we start to feel them, regulate their intensity and start acting in more healthy ways towards the changes we wish to establish in our lives.

What Is an Emotion? 
 " Emotion is a sudden outburst of sensations." Emotions characterized by intense mental activity and a certain degree of pleasure or displeasure. If we ask someone about emotions, they might say it is a feeling, sentiment, reaction, passion, excitement, or sensation. Emotion is a spontaneous feeling arising from a person, thing, or experience. Emotions are unique to each individual, are perception based, and subjective experiences. It could be argued that emotions are sole reason for therapeutic interventions. Acording to Rush! Rush has definied emotions as a complex psychological process, which may be induced by environmental stimuli and mediated by physiological variables. There are some ways to describe emotion. Here are a few of the more common ones: 
<ul>
<li>Friendly     </li>
<li>Pride             </li>
<li>Delight     </li>
<li>Frustration     </li>
<li>Relaxed      </li>

Treatments for Bipolar Disorder 
 
Different types of medications can help control symptoms of bipolar disorder. Medications generally used to treat bipolar disorder include: 
<ul>
<li>Mood stabilizers</li>
<li>Atypical antipsychotics</li>
<li>Antidepressants </li>
</ul>
Mood stabilizer drugs are typically prescribed to prevent mood swings. Getting full range of symptoms under control may require other drugs as well either short-term or long-term. Lithium is perhaps best-known of mood stabilizers, but newer drugs such as lamotrigene have been shown to cause fewer side effects while frequently obviating the need for antidepressant medication. Used alone, antidepressants can precipitate mania and may accelerate mood cycling. Psychotherapy 
 
psychotherapy can be an effective treatment for bipolar disorder. It can provide support, education, and guidance to people with bipolar disorder and their families. Some psychotherapy treatments used to treat bipolar disorder include: 
<ul>
<li>Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)</li>
<li>Family-focused therapy</li>
<li>Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy</li>
<li>Psychoeducation</li>
</ul>
Work and relationship problems can be both cause and effect of bipolar episodes, making psychosocial treatment necessary. Studies show such treatment reduces the number of mood episodes patients experience. Psychotherapy is also valuable in teaching self-management skills, which help keep the everyday ups and downs from becoming full-blown episodes.

Causes of Bipolar Disorder 
 
Genetic elements 
Environmental factors 
 
Both genetic elements and environmental factors can create vulnerability to the disorder, so the causes vary from person to person. While disorder can run in families, no one has definitively identified specific genes that create risk for developing the condition. There is some evidence that advanced paternal age at conception can increase the possibility of new genetic mutations that underlie vulnerability. Imaging studies have suggested there may be differences in the structure and function of certain brain areas, but no differences have been consistently found. Life events including various types of childhood trauma are thought to play a role. Scientists do know that once bipolar disorder occurs, life events can precipitate recurrences. Incidents of interpersonal difficulty and abuse are most commonly associated with development of the disorder.

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder 
 
The defining feature of bipolar disorder is mania. Mania that is mild to moderate, called hypomania, can be deceptive: It is often experienced as a surge in energy that can feel good and enhance productivity and creativity. As a result, a person may deny that anything is wrong. There is great variability in manic symptoms, but features may include: 
 
 
<ul>
<li>increased energy, activity, and restlessness</li>
<li>euphoric mood and extreme optimism</li>
<li>extreme irritability</li>
<li>racing thoughts, pressured speech, thoughts that jump from one idea to another</li>
<li>distractibility and lack of concentration</li>
<li>decreased need for sleep</li>
<li>unrealistic beliefs in one's abilities</li>
<li>poor judgment</li>
<li>spending sprees</li>
<li>increased sexual drive</li>
<li>reckless behavior including fast driving</li>
<li>aggressive behavior</li>
</ul>
While an episode of mania is what distinguishes bipolar disorder from unipolar depression, depression of bipolar disorder can be predominating feature so that a person spends far more time in  depressed state than in a manic or hypomanic one. While there is great variability in degree and duration of depressive symptoms, features generally include: 
<ul>
<li>feelings of hopelessness or pessimism</li>
<li>feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness</li>
<li>loss of interest or pleasure in activities</li>
<li>decreased energy, feelings of fatigue or of being "slowed down"</li>
<li>difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions</li>
<li>restlessness or irritability</li>
<li>sleeping too much or inability to sleep or stay asleep</li>
<li>change in appetite and/or unintended weight loss or gain</li>
<li>chronic pain or other persistent physical symptoms not accounted for by illness or injury</li>
<li>thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts.</li>
</ul>

What Is Bipolar Disorder? 
 
A mental condition marked by mania and depression. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a chronically recurring condition involving moods that swing between highs of mania and lows of depression. The disorder most often starts in young adulthood, but also occurs in children and adolescents. Misdiagnosis is common; the condition is typically confused with everything from attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder to schizophrenia to borderline personality disorder. 
 
Bipolar I Disorder: defined by manic episodes that last at least 7 days, or by manic symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care. Usually, depressive episodes occur as well, typically lasting at least 2 weeks.  
 Bipolar II Disorder: defined by a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes, but not the full-blown manic episodes described above.

This article will highlight the role of gratitude in our life. Before we can get to any of that, though, it is important to define what we are talking about when we discuss gratitude. “an emotion that is typically evoked when one receives costly, unexpected, and intentionally rendered benefits, and is thought to play a key role in regulating the initiation and maintenance of social relationships” (Forster et al., 2017). Purpose of Gratitude! 
 
People use gratitude to form new social relations, or to build upon and make current ones better. Acts of gratitude can be used to apologize, make amends or help solve other problems people may face. Simply being grateful for being alive is a great way to motivate oneself to seize the day. The idea that tomorrow is not guaranteed is a strong motivator to some people. Religious/Spiritual Perspectives on Gratitude!   
Many philosophers historically recognized the importance of gratitude, so have many religious and spiritual movements, like Islam, Buddhism, Christianity. many religious discussions of gratitude in the past have been of the prescriptive sort, focusing on the importance of being grateful to a higher power. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in particular stressed the importance of gratitude for the path to a good life. As for Islam, the purpose of each of the five daily prayers is not to ask Allah for anything, but to show gratitude towards Allah (Emmons & Crumpler, 2000). This shows that gratitude not only plays a major role in these three religions, but that gratitude plays a uniquely crucial role in each religion. 
 The fact that gratitude has long been considered an important aspect of religion and continues to be considered as such indicates that gratitude plays an immense role in faith and spirituality. Benefits of Gratitude!

 In a study by Seligman, Steen, and Peterson (2005), participants were given one week to write and then deliver a letter of thanks in person to someone who had been especially kind to them, but who had never been properly thanked. The gratitude visit involves three basic steps: 
<ul>
<li>First, think of someone who has done something important and wonderful for you, yet who you feel you have not properly thanked.</li>
<li>Next, reflect on the benefits you received from this person, and write a letter expressing your gratitude for all they have done for you.</li>
<li>Finally, arrange to deliver the letter personally, and spend some time with this person talking about what you wrote.</li>
</ul>
The results showed that participants who engaged in the letter-writing exercise reported more happiness for one month after the intervention compared to a control group. Expressing gratitude not only helps you to appreciate what you’ve received in life, it also helps you to feel that you’ve given something back to those who helped you. Hand-delivering a letter of thanks absolves you of any residual guilt you might feel for not having thanked this person previously, and fosters a sincere, heartfelt interaction that can really strengthen your relationship. 
 
Social effects of gratitude. Gratitude can be observed at an individual level, with its subsequent effects, or at a greater social level.Research has shown that the practice of gratitude can create a greater social circle of good. Apply it to Your Life!  
 
Before you go to sleep, simply think of the positive things that happened during the day; things that you are grateful for. Take a moment to do this every night. If you have children, take a moment with them before bed-time to ask them to think about something they’re grateful for themselves. Don’t forget to set a good example by sharing what you’re grateful for! If you feel that you have neglected to thank someone for being especially kind or helpful, don’t focus on feeling bad about it. Just write them a letter explaining your gratitude and deliver it in person, if possible.
