How might youths with bipolar disorders actually increase the number of stressful life events and scarcity of positive life evens they experience?
What will be an ideal response?
Youths with bipolar disorders reported in the COBY study that they experience a very high number of stressful life events—in fact, this number was the same as that reported by adults with depression. When youths with bipolar disorder are in manic states, they may do things that have the high potential for negative consequences, such as acting out in school (causing suspension or expulsion), breaking up with significant others, and more indiscriminate sexual activity that can result in stressful life events. This might in part explain the chronicity of their problems. The relationship challenges bipolar disorders can engender may create a vacuum of positive life events and limits social support, including from family.
