People with airborne allergies can lead to the exacerbation of depression in patients with bipolar I. A study done by Teodor Postolache (University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA) and co-workers shows that 44% of patients who have bipolar I have airborne allergies like pollen and hay fever.
During high exposure to allergens, symptoms of bipolar increased.
It just amazes me how connected each part of our body is. How a physical problem like allergies connect to brain function. My question is what came first? The allergy or the mental disorder.

High Blood Pressure And Bipolar And Hypertention
A Clemson University researcher, James A. McCubbin and colleagues has found that high blood pressure dampens your ability to read emotional content in faces. In our writing and texts it is easy to tell if someone is joking by the smiley face they put behind their sentence when in person it would be easily mistaken.
He calls this emotional dampening. A friend or coworker may make a comment that is meant to be a joke, when unable to read facial expressions it may be mistaken and can lead to anger. This can also lead to distrust and risk taking by not proberly being able to read threats in the environment as well as robing a persons ability to feel enjoyment and personal connections with others.
McCubbin said the link between dampening of emotions and blood pressure is believed to be involved in the development of hypertension and risk for coronary heart disease, the biggest killer of both men and women in the U.S. Emotional dampening also may be involved in disorders of emotion regulation, such as bipolar disorders and depression.
I take a small amount of Pindolol which is a blood pressure medication. I take it for my anxiety and it helps even out my adrenaline.
