Manic
depression
How
do you know if you have manic depression?
Well take
a look at how
you feel. Do you have periods of extreme highs, followed by extreme
lows? And all in the same day? Sometimes in the same hour?
Manic depression is characterized by mood swings...extreme mood swings.
This has been documented in history. Earliest known reocrds are from
the second century A.D. But a definite description of mania, or manic
illness, was by Emil Kraepelin, in 1904.
Right now manic depression is also called a bipolar
disorder.
Taking
 Manic depression
Seriously
Manic depression or Bipolar depression is actually considered as one of
the worst type of depression that people usually suffer from.
Characterized by sudden and extreme changes in their mood, Manic
depression is said to be called as such because manic = mania refers to the
'ups' while depression refers to the 'downs'.
A lot of people actually experience erratic changes in their moods,
some times, these so-called mood swings may not just be caused by PMS
(pre-menstrual syndrome) or stress. Doctors actually have diagnosed
mood swings as a common symptom of depression.
But when these so-called mood swings have gone to utmost absurdity,
from getting irked even by the littlest or simplest of thins like not
getting your favorite ice cream flavor, this may not be just a sign of
brattiness, but when getting irked means you'll cuss and swear on the
ice cream vendor and throw absurd tantrums, this may already be the
start of Manic depression.
The so-called 'manic' or 'ups' in Manic depression is described as to
be the times when a person suffering from this bipolar disorder may
experience overly high periods, consisting of heightened energy, a
sudden outburst of euphoric mood, extreme irritability, thoughts racing
as well as aggressive behavior.
According to therapists, someone suffering from Manic depression may
have these so-called manic 'periods' wherein sudden outbursts of
euphoric and elevated mood swings may actually go through this for as
long as not just a day, in can actually go on for as long as one week,
even longer than that.
When it comes to the so-called 'low' or 'down' periods, as its name
suggests can actually bring someone to the point of suicide.
If
you are experiencing these feelings please go to your doctor and get
help right now.
Someone who is suffering from Manic depression may experience very
similar symptoms to those who are suffering from other
depressive
symptoms.
People who are suffering from this depression may actually
experience episodes showing a depressive state of mind - a feeling of
worthlessness and being unloved may start to corrupt the individual's
mind.
Various symptoms, showing guilt, extreme sadness, anxiety attacks,
feeling of not belonging, extreme pessimism and obvious loss for
pleasure. According to therapists, an individual who is depressed
consistently for more than a week can officially be diagnosed as
someone who is suffering from Manic depression.
In spite of being one of the most common, yet severe type of depressive
disorder, Manic depression, according to doctors can actually be
treated.
There's no reason to worry too much about it, just follow the proper
procedures that the therapist will instruct you to do. If they
prescribe a medication, take the proper prescribed medications as well
as the proper dosage in order to help you (or your friend or love one)
overcome Manic depression before it becomes too late.
Also, individuals who are suffering from Manic depression should always
be able to see their therapists on a regular basis so as to be able to
release their pent up emotions to some one who can interpret and
understand what they're going to a lot better as compared to "normal"
people.
Although positive results for a Manic depressive patient can still be
achieved from natural alternatives, a proper and a more lasting relief
from Manic depressive symptoms can still be best acquired through
seeing cognitive behavior therapists. Contrary to some beliefs, when it
comes to psychiatric treatments, psychiatrists, preferably cognitive
behavior therapists are still the best ones to consult , as
well
as the ones who'll most
probably be able to cure for this Bipolar illness.
Take
Away: One
thing to be noted is that many manic depressive people can go through
their lives being very productive during the inbetween periods when
they're feeling all right. So if you're a manic depressive, then don't
give up hope.
You can still lead a productive life. Example: some famous people who
had it were Roosevelt, Earnest Hemmingway and Churchill. And they did
quite well in history didn't they?
So never give up hope. Keep on keeping on.
