Introduction
The bipolar disorder also known as the manic disorder is a common illness mainly found in young adults and children as well. Statistics has indicated that this disorder affects close to four million individuals in the United States and is turning out to be a common illness in many nations today (Fleury, Grenier, & Bamvita, 2015). People who suffer from this disease undergo distinct mood swings; depression and mania. The depressive effects can further be divided into subcategories; Bipolar 1, 2, three disorders and Cyclothymia.
Discovered during the ancient Greek periods, the Bipolar disorder has been associated with the chemical imbalances in the brain. This disorder has the capacity to make an individual’s mind go through different changes in thought patterns or rather known as mood swings. An individual suffering from this disease may present two kinds of depression, that is the mania and depression (Fleury, et. al). Patients, therefore, alternate between depression and mania or may experience simultaneous episodes of this mood changes.
The pancreas is a gland situated next to the small intestines with the main purpose of increasing the digestive enzymes that assist in the digestive process if food. The gland is also responsible for the generation of hormones also known as insulin and glucagon that are mainly found in the blood stream. The pancreatitis disorder, therefore, results from the inflammation of the pancreases.
This disease is primarily caused when the pancreatic enzymes digest their glands a factor that results in this disorder. There are two primary forms of the pancreatitis disease; the acute and chronic pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis occurs when the pancreases heal all by itself without a lasting change in the structure and function of the glands (Fleury, et. al). Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, occurs when the pancreas heals, but an inflammation reoccurs thus causing an irreversible change to the function and structure of the pancreas.
Pancreatitis mainly occurs in two forms, in its acute and chronic states. The acute state occurs when the there is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that lasts only for a short period of time. Patients who fall into this category tend to recover from this disease after getting treatment. However, the server or rather chronic pancreatitis occurs in the event that the pancreas starts bleeding causing severe damages to the tissues that result in an infection. The chronic state of pancreatitis occurs after episodes of acute pancreatitis (Gampetro, Wojciechowski, & Amer, 2012). The primary cause of this disease is attributed to the massive intake of alcohol that ends up damaging the pancreas. This paper therefore seeks to determine the comparison between patients who suffer from mental disorders and those who undergo challenges in medical disorders in an acute care setting.
