Asperger's with Bipolar Disorder




Because the symptoms of Asperger's syndrome and bipolar disorder can
be similar, it's common for people to be diagnosed with one or the
other when they really have both. It's not uncommon for the two
conditions to occur together, but having comorbid disorders presents
additional challenges in treating and living with the conditions.

Understanding Asperger's Syndrome



Asperger's (Asperger or Asperger's Syndrome or Disorder) is a
developmental disability on the autism spectrum. People with
Asperger's tend to have one or two very focused interests and can talk
at length about them, without noticing when others are growing bored
or disinterested in the conversation. They're not good at
understanding body language or interpreting facial expressions and may
speak very formally, as if they're reading from an encyclopedia. It's
difficult for them to understand others' emotions or viewpoints. They
have a hard time understanding sarcasm or idioms (phrases like "piece
of cake" or "hit the road"). They may move awkwardly, with a stiff or
clumsy gait. Many people with Asperger's have distinct mood swings.
The inability to understand what goes on in social situations can lead
to frustration and anger, creating behavior issues and outbursts of
temper.


Understanding Bipolar Disorder



Bipolar disorder is characterized by strong differences in mood,
between extreme highs (mania) and lows (depression). Manic states are
marked by extreme happiness or irritability, racing thoughts, the
feeling that you need to do a hundred things at once, an inability to
focus on anything, bad judgment, excessive risk-taking in activities
like spending, driving and sex, and insomnia. Depression finds people
feeling sad for weeks at a time, convinced they are worthless or to
blame for everyone's problems. They may have an increase or decrease
in appetite or sleep, appear apathetic, and lose interest in things
they used to enjoy. Severe depression can lead to suicidal thoughts
and attempts. A mixed state combines both manic and depressive
elements, with people often feeling worthless and sad, but taking
risks and otherwise behaving as in a manic state.

Difficult Diagnosis



It can be difficult to diagnose bipolar disorder or other psychiatric
illnesses in someone who has Asperger's disorder. Doctors may
attribute their symptoms to the developmental disability and not
consider that there could be another, undiagnosed disorder. Because
people with Asperger's are often less social than people in general,
their moodiness may not affect relationships--a key factor in
diagnosing bipolar disorder in the general population. Depressive
apathy may be seen as the social deficit in Asperger's. What looks
like the compulsive need to know everything about a topic of interest,
common in people with Asperger's, may really be the impulsiveness and
compulsive drive of bipolar disorder.


Getting Help



Before making a diagnosis, your doctor must take a comprehensive
medical history, including any psychiatric illnesses among family
members. He will carefully assess the symptoms, noting the severity
and duration of mood swings and other symptoms. In the case of
diagnosing children, the doctor may observe their behavior over the
course of several visits to get an accurate measure of their behavior.
Thyroid problems can cause symptoms similar to bipolar disorder, so
the doctor may order a blood test to rule that out.


Treatment



There are medications available for treating bipolar disorder in
people with Asperger's. People taking medications for bipolar should
be carefully monitored for side effects. Some antipsychotics commonly
prescribed for bipolar disorder can cause involuntary movements in
children; the risk of this is higher in kids with Asperger's. Because
of possible communication deficits, it's essential to make careful
note of any atypical behavior in people with Asperger's who are taking
any kind of medication.

Therapy can help you understand the symptoms and learn to manage them.
Average to high IQ is one component of Asperger's, so therapy can be
quite effective in teaching about the disorders.
