How To Identify And Treat Manic
Depression Symptoms by Jim Johnson
For those that are suffering from manic depression symptoms, there is little
good that they see or feel. Manic depression is much different from that of
clinical depression. Manic is also and more commonly known, as bipolar disorder,
a life threatening condition. If you feel that you have any of these manic
depression symptoms, or you know someone that does, it is imperative that you
seek out medical attention as soon as possible for them.
In most cases, this type of depression seems to be inherited, but this is not
true in all cases, and to various levels of degrees. Unlike clinical depression,
manic depression symptoms will go through cycles, from being manic to being
depressed. Most of the time, these mood changes will be gradual but they can
also be drastic and quickly changing.
Manic Depression Symptoms
Manic depression symptoms are broken down into two categories. The symptoms are
different for each part of the cycle that the manic depressive will go through.
Mania State:
Here are some symptoms that may be evident:
· Poor judgment · Inappropriate elation, feelings of being happy for no reason ·
Inappropriate irritability, feelings of being mad, angry or upset that are
unfounded · Insomnia that is severe · The speed at which you talk is increased.
You may be louder too. · Increased energy that is unfounded · Disconnected and
thoughts that are racing through your mind · Sexual desires are increased, often
to much higher levels · Social behavior that is in appropriate or out of
character
Depressed Symptoms:
Here are some symptoms that may be evident:
· Fatigue or decreased levels of energy. Feelings of being slowed down
physically and mentally. · Loss of appetite, weight loss that is not due to
dieting. Or, on the other hand, sometimes people can be overeating and gaining
weight. · Continuously anxious or depressed, saddened mood. · Feelings that are
guilt, helplessness, worthlessness. · The things that you used to love are no
longer interesting. Activities and hobbies seem to be lost. · Lack of interest
in sexual relations. · Insomnia or suddenly waking up. Or, you may be
oversleeping only to feel not rested. · Thoughts of death, suicide or attempts
of this type. · Loss of concentration, attentiveness. · In ability to make
decisions, even simple ones. · Physical conditions that do not seem to respond
to treatments including chronic pain, headaches and digestive disorders.
Manic depression systems will cycle through these states. In clinical depression
symptoms, only the depressed symptoms listed above may be evident. Those that
are suffering from these conditions should have depression tests done to
diagnoses them properly. Only depression tests can provide accurate information
about this condition. Some or all of the manic depression symptoms listed here
may be in play. Anxiety and depression treatments are available to treat these
manic depression symptoms and depression medicines can help to control these
feelings.
