Karmic Reasons for Bipolar Disorder

Karma refers to an Eastern belief based on reincarnation, in which actions from a past life affect the present. Sufferers of bipolar disorder experience life-altering mood swings, triggered by various factors that may include past-life unexpressed emotions or transgressions.

Types

• Ancient texts describe three types of karma: stored unresolved past actions, newly created present actions, and past actions affecting current life situation.

Theories/Speculation

• Karmic energy develops through actions and intentions. Unresolved newly created karma transfers to the causal body or soul upon bodily death. During rebirth, some of this energy may contribute to the structural formation of the fetus or may manifest later as stressful situations related to past-life transgression.

Identification

• Psychiatrists diagnose a bipolar disorder through the presence of at least one emotional episode characterized by an "elevated, expansive, or irritable mood."

Causes

• Bipolar disorder possibly results from suppressed emotional energy from a past-life that releases like steam from a pressure cooker, thereby creating a biochemical imbalance or manifesting as a stressful life event. In support, researchers report that about half of those suffering from bipolar disorder experienced either an abusive childhood or a recent stressful event.

Warning

• Do not create more negative karmic energy as you deal with your present situation. Instead, use karmic energy in order to learn and evolve.
