Bipolar disorder is a debilitating disease that affects roughly 3% of adolescents. The disease is characterized by chronic episodes or mania, followed by depressive episodes. While there is no cure, following a medication regimen along with a balanced lifestyle can help to minimize symptoms of the disorder. Exercise, drug use, nutrition, and sleep habits have shown to have a significant effect on bipolar patterns. Past research has found that the addition of exercise to one’s lifestyle can be effective at reducing depressive symptoms in people with bipolar disorder, improving their quality of life and overall functioning. Additionally, substance misuse is a common comorbidity among individuals with bipolar disorder which can worsen the course and outcome of the illness. Alcohol use, in particular, has been associated with an increased risk of suicidal behavior in individuals with the disorder. In terms of diet, generally, a balanced diet that includes whole foods, fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats is recommended for those with mood disorders. Finally, adequate sleep duration as well as regular sleep-wake patterns have been associated with improved mood stability in individuals with bipolar disorder. Contrastingly, irregular sleep patterns have been associated with a higher risk of relapse. Therefore, this study seeks to use physical exercise, nutrition, sleep, and substance abuse data in order to determine how these four behaviors differ between individuals in the bipolar cohort vs the control cohort and establish which lifestyle proves to be the most effective in reducing bipolar tendencies among adolescents.
