Kia mārama tātou ki te rerekētanga tuturu i waenga i te pouri me te mate bipolar.

He pōuri, he takoto kau rānei ōu whakaaro i ētahi wā? He wā anō kāore koe e hiahia ki te mahi i tetahi mea, ā, kāore he hiahia ki te mahi i ngā mea i pai ai koe ki mua? He mea noa ēnei kare ā-roto ki a tātou katoa. Engari ki te haere tonu tēnei āhuatanga, tera pea he mea nui atu i te pōuri noa iho. I ēnei wā, he mea nui kia tautuhia mēnā he pouri, he mate hinengaro uaua rānei. Nā te mea he tino rerekē ngā maimoatanga mō ēnei mate e rua. Nō reira, i tēnei rā, me kōrero māmā noa iho tātou mō tēnei.

Tuatahi, he aha te pouri?

Ko te pouri, e kiia nei e tātou i roto i te rongoā, ko te Mate Pouri Nui (MDD), ehara i te mea he kare ā-pōuri noa iho. He pouri hōhonu, he koretake rānei e roa ana mō ngā rā, mō ngā wiki rānei. I roto i tēnei āhuatanga, ka ngaro pea tō tumanako ki te ao, ka koretake tō whakaaro, ā, ka noho pōuri tonu koe.

Ko ētahi atu tohu noa o te pouri ko ngā panonitanga o te moe (te kore moe, te moe nui rānei), ngā panonitanga o te hiahia kai, me te uaua ki te arotahi. I ētahi rā, ka pai ake pea tō wairua, engari ki te kore he maimoatanga tika, ka noho pōuri tonu tō wairua. I ngā wā kino rawa atu, ka whakaaro pea koe ki te whakamomori.

Nā, he aha te mate hinengaro rua?

Āe, me titiro tātou ki te mate hinengaro rua. I ētahi wā ka kiia tēnei ko te pouri nui. Ko te kupu 'whakaaro rua' tonu te tikanga he 'tino rerekē e rua'. Arā, he rerekētanga kei waenganui i ngā tino rerekē e rua o te wairua i roto i tēnei mate.

Ki te kī ngāwari, ka pāngia te tangata whai mate hinengaro rua e ngā wā pouri nui, he rite ki te pouri (ngā wā pouri). Engari, he rerekē, kei reira ngā wā tino harikoa, tino kaha, me te hihiko rawa (ngā wā mania, hypomania rānei).

He rite ki te eke i tētahi waka rere o ngā kare ā-roto. Tērā pea ka huri koe mai i te pouri nui mō ngā wiki, ngā marama rānei, ki te huri ohorere hei tangata tino pukumahi. Ka roa pea tēnei wā pukumahi (manic) mai i ētahi rā ki te rua marama, neke atu rānei. I ētahi wā ka pā mai he wāhanga whakauru, he huinga o ngā pito e rua. Arā, tērā pea ka pouri koe, ka kore hoki e tumanako, engari ka tino manukanuka, ka tino oho hoki.

Ahakoa he tino whakahihiri te wā tino pukumahi nei i te tīmatanga, he tino morearea pea. Nā te mea i taua wā, ka whakamatautauria koe ki te mahi i ngā mea morearea me te kore e whakaaro ki tetahi mea. Waihoki, ko ia wā tino pukumahi (manic) ka whai ake i te nuinga o te wā ka puta he wā pouri nui.

Ko te rerekētanga matua i waenga i te pouri me te mate bipolar: Hyperactivity (Mania)

Ko te rerekētanga tino kitea, tino nui hoki i waenganui i ēnei mate e rua ko te hihiko rawa . Ko te tangata e pāngia ana e te pouri anake, kāore ia e pāngia e tēnei momo 'high', arā, te mania, te hypomania rānei.

He aha te wāhanga hihiko rawa e kiia nei ko te mania?

He āhua hinengaro pukumahi rawa tēnei, e kore e nui atu i te 'harikoa' noa iho. I tēnei wā,

• Kāore e taea te whakahaere i ngā huringa o tō wairua. I te tīmatanga he pai te āhua, engari i muri i tētahi wā ka huri hei āhua pōrearea, kore e taea te whakahaere.
• Kua tata ngaro katoa te āheinga ki te whakatau kaupapa. Ka tangohia ngā tūponotanga nui rawa atu me te kore e whakaaro ki ngā hua ka puta. Hei tauira, te whakapau moni nui i te wā kotahi, te taraiwa pōrearea, te whai i ngā whanonga moepuku morearea.Ngā mea pēnei i te whanonga.
• Kāore au e hiahia ki te moe. He nui te kaha o taku tinana ahakoa kua moe mō ētahi haora.
• Kei te rere tonu ngā whakaaro i roto i tōku hinengaro. Nā tēnei ka hiahia ahau ki te kōrero tere, ki te pekepeke mai i tētahi kaupapa ki tētahi kaupapa. Ki taku whakaaro he nui rawa ngā mea ka taea e au te mahi i te wā kotahi.
• Ka hohoro te riri, ā, ka pōuri haere.

He aha te Hypomania?

He āhua ngāwari ake tēnei o te hihiko nui, he iti ake te kaha i te mania . I tēnei wā, tera pea ka pai ake tō āhua, ka nui ake tō kaha, ā, ka taea e koe te mahi i ngā mea maha atu. Ka uaua pea tēnei ki a koe te mōhio kei a koe te mate. Heoi, tera pea ka kite ō hoa me tō whānau i tētahi huringa o ō whanonga.

He aha te hiranga o te tautuhi tika me te maimoatanga tika?

Whakaarohia, ki te haere koe ki te tākuta i te wā e tino pouri ana koe, e pōuri ana, tera pea ka tohua koe e te tākuta he pouri koe. Ki te kore koe, e tētahi rānei e mōhio pai ana ki a koe e kōrero ki a koe mō ō wā pōuri, tera pea ka ngaro te tātaritanga o te mate hinengaro rua.

He tino morearea tēnei. Nā te mea, ki te hoatu noa e koe ētahi rongoā mō te pouri ki tētahi tūroro bipolar (ina koa ko ngā rongoā ārai pouri), ka taea e rātou te whakararu i tō rātou āhua mania, arā, te whakaoho i taua āhua. Koia te mea he mea nui te tautuhi tika i te mate.

Ka rongoatia te mate bipolar mā te whakamahi i ngā rongoā whakaū wairua, i ētahi wā ka honoa ki ētahi atu rongoā.

Me pēhea taku āwhina i te tākuta?

He tino āwhina te pupuri i tētahi pukapuka tuhi mō ō huringa kare ā-roto, ō tauira moe, ō tikanga kai, me ngā kaupapa nui o te ao. Mā tēnei ka taea e koe me tō tākuta te whakaatu i te āhua o ō kare ā-roto. He taupānga waea anō hoki hei āwhina i tēnei i ēnei rā. Engari kia maumahara, ehara ēnei i te mea hei whakakapi mō ngā tohutohu me te mahere maimoatanga a tō tākuta.

Ko te mate hinengaro rua ka tīmata i te 25 tau te pakeke. Ka taea hoki te pā mai me ētahi atu mate hinengaro, mate tinana rānei (hei tauira, te manukanuka, te ADHD, te mate huka, te mate tairoi). Mena kei roto i tō whānau te mate, he nui ake te tūponotanga ka pāngia koe e tēnei mate.

Ki te whakapae koe kei a koe ēnei tohu, tēnā kōrero ki tētahi tohunga hauora hinengaro. Mā te tātaritanga tika me te whakakotahitanga o ngā rongoā me te tohutohu, ka taea e koe te whakahaere pai i te āhuatanga me te noho i te oranga noa.
