Abstract

In recent years, bipolar disorder is gradually becoming younger, and the incidence rate among young people is increasing yearly. However, the dissemination of information and awareness about bipolar disorder among young people, especially college students, has been slow or lacking. Although associated with bipolar disorder in adults and other younger populations, the specific life and social environment of college students lead to specific causes of bipolar disorder, which makes the diagnosis more complex and therefore requires more targeted interventions and appropriate treatments. This academic article describes the symptoms, causes, and primary interventions of bipolar disorder in college students. This study is a literature review, analysis, and survey summary based on studies on bipolar disorder associated with young adults or the college student population from 2001 to 2022. The primary sources for the research literature were Google Scholar and the University of Toronto Library. The DSM-5 and NIMH provided much reliable information to support this paper. This study finally analyzed three main results: (1) The prevalence of manic and depressive episode characteristics of bipolar disorder in college students. (2) The specific and essential etiologist of bipolar disorder in college students include sleep problems, smoking, and drinking problems. Moreover, (3) medication and on-campus treatment approach for college students.
