This technique, whether using a friend/family member or a mental health professional, can be very beneficial. Strong emotions, particularly distress, often cause perception distortion. You can easily get lost in the strong emotions and lose a larger perspective. The feelings begin to change how you see things, and it's easy to trust them because they originate inside of you. We have to learn how to distrust and evaluate our own emotions. Someone who is not inside your head can provide that reorientation and perspective needed to see how the emotions are influencing your perceptions.

Often, it's difficult to hear an outside perspective. It can feel like an attack on you or how you feel. Sometimes tough love is required. This can be easier coming from a neutral mental health professional versus someone you have a relationship with. It just depends on the relationships you have available.

As always, talk to your doctor first. As far as "ever".. if you're feeling well enough to return to work and bipolar disorder is well managed with the correct medicine and/or therapy/counseling, I don't see why not. Good Luck!!

*. OPINION ONE 1. Keep on taking the medicines you are already taking or the illness may worsen into hopelessness and helplessness that could lead to suicide. If you attempt withdrawl (with or without Doctor's supervision) and you notice the intensity of anxiety, depression increasing on withdrawl of a medicine it is important to realise that the medicine is helping you though it does not suffice. Restart the medicine. 2. Add another antidepressant to the existing medicines. Wait for about 6weeks to see its effect. 3. If you still notice the depression worsening go on adding antidepressant one followed by the other. (A patient was taking about 9 different antidepressants. He took anxiolytics in addition. Rare, but true.) 4. Thyroid hormone- Eltroxin, stimulaters - Methyl phenidate and Modafinil may be added. 5. In resistant cases good old electroconvulsive therapy may be added. 6. Replace SSRIs and TCAs with MAO inhibitor like Parnate. Consider Mocloblemide. 7. Include mood stabilizers (bipolar). 8. ALL THESE ARE CONSIDERATIONS FOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER THAT APPEARS TO BE RESISTANT. SUPERVISION OF QUALIFIED PSYCHIATRIST AND GOOD CARE GIVER (RELATIVE) IS MANDATORY. Do blood serum levels especially if you are taking Lithium. 9. Adjuvants like Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Biblotherapy should not be neglected. OPINION TWO *.Get off all medication, drugs and alcohol (with the assistance of your doctor), and start from scratch. Remember that most psych medications take several weeks to have their effects. Bouncing from one to another is likely to create problems. Drinking or drugging will screw everything up.

Anger is not depression because everyone gets angry at one point. You can be angry for a second and then forget about it and change your mood. However, when you are depressed it is usually for a while and not so easy to just forget about and change your mood, as quick as you would if you were angry.

2nd Answer:

There is what we call anger, which is really feelings, and not an emotion. True anger, the emotion, has usually been considered to be the other face of depression (and vice-versa). These days, many psychology professionals would say about true anger and depression that their owner has a chemical issue in the brain, and that these are not 'self' generated issues.

Postnatal depression is usually a side effect or problems giving birth to their newborn. Heavy bleeding can cause stress and they feel that it is the child's fault for all the problems.
