Keep a mood diary and make sure, if you find yourself becoming what you think is manic, to see your counsellor while you still feel the same.
Sylvia Plath suffered from depression throughout her life. There is no evidence to suggest that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Yes, I have both. Diagnosed in 2008 as being manic depressive and boderline bipolar.
Someone with bipolar disorder already has periods of depression, and a symptom of depression can include anxiety. The increased energy levels associated with the manic episodes of bipolar disorder may look like ADHD. An individual with bipolar disorder is not likely to be diagnosed separately for depression, ADHD, or anxiety.
Possibly. Bipolar disorder involves mood swings, and sociopaths can also have rapid mood swings. However, depression- which is a prerequisite for Bipolar I and Bipolar II- is rarely seen in sociopathy.
This can be classified as Bipolar. I am actually a diagnosed and medicated Bipolar person. Bipolar and Depression symptoms can be very similar but if your emotions are rapid and changing constantly, this would be classified more as a Bipolar condition.
Both depression and bipolar were known and documented by Hippocrates if not before that. They just had different names, but can be recognized by their symptoms.
no He never was diagnosed with depression but he was depressive since he was 8
I believe he's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Not with this government. Get up, man up, get a job!
Bipolar disorder is a type of depression. There's nothing in it as your question asks. I means you're unhappy (most of the time, but not all the time), you feel stressed out and annoyed sometimes as well.Wrong! Bipolar disorder is not a type of depression! One can be diagnosed bipolar I and never have had any depression, only mania. Admittedly depression is common with bipolar disorder but they are not the same.Some forms of bipolar disorder and their typical symptoms:bipolar I - at least one manic episode, may or may not have depressive episodes (this was previously called manic depression)bipolar II - has never had a manic episode, recurrent depressive episodes (this was previously just diagnosed as recurrent depression)cyclothymia - has never had either manic or depressive episodes, only recurrent periods of hypomania (i.e. mild mania) and dysthymia (i.e. mild depression)Bipolar I & II may or may not have psychosis at the extremes of manic or depressive episodes. Cyclothymia will never have psychosis.
probably under-diagnosed.
Yes, unfortunately he faced depression. It developed because of the death of his second wife, and he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, more commonly known as manic depression, soon after, something with which he struggled for the rest of his life.
