The mood swings of people with bipolar disorder are influenced by their thoughts according to researchers.

A study by Lancaster University showed that how people interpret everyday experience affects their behavior and hence mood.

They found that positive thoughts like "I will excel in whatever I'm doing" or negative like "I'm going to have a breakdown" influence mood in a way in which a more neutral thought such as "I have a lot on and need to wind down" does not.

The study found that both thoughts and ascent behaviors predicted bipolar risk, characterized by a hypomanic personality style, while negative thoughts and descent behaviors were associated with depression.

Als Zahnarzt und auch als Stuhlassistenz sitzt man für lange Zeit in einer statischen Position mit horizontaler Abduktion der Arme und Seitneigung des Kopfes. Dies ist eine Herausforderung für den Körper. Die muskuläre Fehl- belastung kann mit der Zeit zu unangenehmen Schulter- und Nackenbeschwerden führen. Mithilfe von Gedankenbildern aus der Franklin-Methode hat das Behandlungsteam die Möglichkeit, diese Position mit geringer Anstrengung zu halten und auch während der täglichen Arbeit in der Praxis immer einmal wieder die Schultern zu entspannen.
