What is the difference between depression and bi polar?
The main difference between them is that people with depression experience only depression, whereas people afflicted by bipolar disorder experience both depression and hypomania or mania. When someone is depressed they often link everything to being their fault and often feel like suicide.Whereas, my friend who has bipolar is different in the sense that when you have bipolar, you experience happy and sad emotions, that contrast each other greatly. I see my friend having a laugh and enjoying herself. Then totally depressed another time.Bipolar disorder causes dramatic mood swings-from overly "high" and/or irritable (Mania) to sad and hopeless (Depression), and then back again, often with periods of normal mood in between. Severe changes in energy and behavior go along with these changes in mood. The periods of highs and lows are called episodes of mania and depression. People with bipolar disorder can have episodes of mild to severe mania in addition to severe depressive episodes. (Mild mania is called hypomania. )There are 2 main types of bipolar disorder. Bipolar 1 includes severe depressive and manic episodes and in some cases visual or auditory hallucinations. Bipolar 2 includes hypomania alternating with depression.
Can clinical depression turn into manic depression?
Not in the way that you are asking. Depression is one illness; manic depression is a separate illness. However, it is possible that you are actually manic depressive or bipolar instead of just being unipolar depressive. Sometimes the manic phase does not show up at the same time as the depression. Teenagers and young adults often have depression first, before the first manic episode.

Why is it important to know the client's history before he is diagnosed with his present diagnosis?
Because he might have another illness that is causing his current symptoms. For example, if someone is severely depressed, then the person would (obviously) be diagnosed with depression. If, however, the person has a history of Bipolar II, then the person would probably have a diagnosis of Bipolar II instead.

Bipolar Disorder I know this because my mo is bipolar
How common is a misdiagnosis of bipolar - as in diagnosed as being bipolar but not actually?
I think MOST people are misdiagnosed as NOT being bipolar. My wife is bipolar, as is her dad. I've witnessed so many levels that she has been on, that I can see just how easy it is for someone to be misdiagnosed as simply depressed or even disregarded as having "other" issues. Bipolar has many levels. At what level it is finally discovered (like Brittany Spears) can take years, as was the case with my wife. 10 years of odd behavior before she finally went off the deep end and ended up in jail. Don't wait. It will cost you more, personally and financially. Most people that suffer from bipolar refuse to admit they have to deal with it. This is what makes it so hard. You can't put your finger on it, until it is too late because once they are into an "episode", they are gone. And even then, as in our case, police officers can't tell that something is wrong. When my wife cleaned out our bank account and drove across the country wanting to "escape", there was nothing I could do even with an "all points bulletin" and her past record of being treated for this disorder. If you want help, go to Truehope.com. They helped my wife and they can help you even if you aren't "quite" bipolar. As a chemical imbalance, there is treatment that won't leave you feeling "crazy". Good luck and God Bless.

Is bipolar and intermittent explosive disorder the same?
No, they are not the the same, however, they share many similarities. I am very well informed on both the symptoms of Type 1 Bipolar Disorder and those of IED. I myself suffer from IED, and my girlfriend suffers from bipolar disorder. The symptoms are very similar, as well as the patterns and neurological conditions that exist in the disorders. This is why both can be treated with Lithium Salts and various Anti-Convulsants. The similarities vary, as the symptoms and cycles of bipolar disorder and IED often vary from patient to patient. Both are expected to quickly enter aggressive behaviors when having an episode, even if they would not be violent when in a neutral state. However, a person with bipolar disorder will already appear very volatile and unstable before a violent outburst, as the symptoms of bipolar mania are very present during an explosion. However, a person may appear very calm and neutral before and IED explosion, and only sometimes can an explosion be predicted. When manic, a bipolar person will often experience racing thoughts as increased physical strength and energy. Some people who have IED experience episodes in clusters, experiencing several episodes of varying intensity through a period of a few weeks, returning to normal for several months afterwords, in a similar pattern to the manic "phases" of a person with bipolar disorder. There are several differences too. While the level of mania fluctuates during a manic period, it is nearly constantly apparent in the patients thoughts and behaviors for the duration of the manic period. A person with IED may be "rigged to explode", but during this period their thoughts and behaviors are entirely normal, until a small trigger releases the explosion. This is often very shocking to the patient and cannot be followed as easily as the cycles of bipolar mania and depression. After major explosions, people with IED often experience depression and exhaustion, however, it is never clinical and is quickly overcome, unlike the major episodes of bipolar depression. Bipolar mania and depression is also much more long lasting, and where a bipolar person may be exerting mania for several weeks or months, and then depressed for several more, a person with IED will only be altered for 10-40 minutes before "coming down". It should also be noted that Intermittent Explosive Disorder is often comorbid with bipolar disorder, as well as other mental illnesses. Because of this high rate of comorbitity, as well as the many similarities, a psychiatrist must first rule out bipolar disorder before diagnosing a patient with IED. Hope I helped.
