An Overview of the Bipolar Depression Disorder


Bipolar depression is different than many forms of depression. With a bipolar disorder, a person experiences mania. Mania allows an individual to experience an extreme high that more than likely will impair judgment.

This type of depression will affect a person their entire life, but with the right treatment plan, a person can cope with bipolar depression as long as they completely understand this illness.

Bipolar depression usually begins in adolescence or early adulthood. However, at this early stage, it is usually not seen as a psychological problem because it is sporadic. Individuals that have this disorder will have unique patterns to their mood cycles.

These cycles will combine both depression and mania. Once the unique patterns of cycles are identified, treatment can begin. But, until a person's cycles are seen as being true bipolar disorder, a person can suffer for years needlessly.

When a person is experiencing mania during their bipolar depression episode, certain behavioral issues need to be watched very carefully. A person will feel great when the manic episode begins, and this can make them stop whatever treatment that is happening.

As the mania intensifies, an individual will have difficulty concentrating and their thinking becomes grand. Judgment can be impaired and that can lead to major problems arising in a person's life.

Many people also will abuse various drugs including alcohol during their mania stage of this disorder. This can lead to secondary problems besides the bipolar depression.

Treatments for bipolar depression are critical for the affected individual. Because the mania cycle can greatly impact an individual's judgment, a person will more than likely will try to discontinue their treatment because of the good feelings that are associated with their high cycle.

This can have a devastating affect on a person because if mania is left untreated it can turn into a psychotic state that a person may never recover from. Bipolar depression is one depression that people must stay on a consistent treatment plan in order for their disorder to be manageable.

Bipolar depression is a severe disorder that can cripple a person's mental state. This disorder will take control of a person's life and affect every judgment that they make.

People who are affected with bipolar disorders will have them for the duration of their lives. However, with consistent treatments a person can learn to deal with their disorder in a positive manner.

Bipolar individuals do not need to suffer. Help is available, and in order to lead a successful life being diagnosed as bipolar, a person must be proactive in seeking it.

An Overview of Major Or Clinical Depression


Most individuals will go through a feeling of sadness or depression at certain points in their lifetime especially under certain circumstances such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, or one of life's many disappointments.

For the majority of individuals these feelings are only temporary and pass within a relatively short period of time, however, when an individual experiences intense levels of sadness and feelings of hopelessness on daily basis or nearly everyday and it interferes with their life, this condition is referred to in the medical field as clinical depression, major depression, or major depressive disorder. Clinical depression is a serious illness that requires professional medical help to overcome.

The Prevalence of Depression

Clinical or major depression affects millions of individuals worldwide regardless of age, race, or economic status. Estimates from various mental health organizations state that ten percent of the population of individuals over the age of eighteen in the United States alone experiences the symptoms of depression and that one hundred and twenty one million people worldwide are affected by depression.

Children are also affected by depression as well and estimates are that approximately one out of every thirty three will develop depression either from genetics or a stressful environment. The prevalence of depression in women is higher than in men with statistics showing that twice as many women suffer from depression than men; however, the rate of suicide among men who suffer from major depression is three times higher than the suicide rate among women with this illness.

Depression also affects the elderly with over six million individuals over the age of sixty five having some form of depression and there is also an increased rate of suicidal tendencies and suicide among elderly depressed patients. Individuals who have other serious health problems such as cancer, eating disorders, and other debilitating diseases are also prone to developing depression.

Individuals who have major depression are also more susceptible to heart attacks and when suffering a heart attack the recovery time is often longer and the rate of fatality from a heart attack of individuals with depression is also higher. The "World Health Organization" or "WHO" estimates that by the year two thousand and twenty, depression will be the second most common illness in the World.

Depression is Treatable

The symptoms and severity of depression vary and are different in different individuals with some recognizing that there is a problem with the more serious symptoms and others that may just feel "blue" or unhappy most of the time without understanding why. Fortunately, for the majority of individuals who suffer from major depressive disorder this condition can be readily diagnosed by a primary care physician and successfully treated.

When receiving the proper treatment that typically consists of psychotherapy and antidepressant medications, sixty to eighty percent of individuals will experience a significant relief from their symptoms. In more severe cases of depression when therapy and medications do not help, "ECT" or "electroconvulsive therapy" can be beneficial to some sufferers. Through ongoing research, newer forms of treatment have also been recently made available for the treatment of major depression that has been unresponsive to the typical forms of treatment.

An Overview Of Major Depressive Disorder With Psychotic Features


Basically, psychosis is a loss of contact with reality. It may take many different forms, or a number of these forms coming together. A patient may see something taking place, but instead of recognizing it for what it is, they see it as something quite different.

For instance, they may see a man walking across the grass in front of their window. Everyone else sees this, but they see the person with wings, flying across a meadow.

I knew of one man who had this fixation on snakes. He was extremely gentle, but every morning he used to go out on his snake hunt. Then he'd come running in to me, (why me, I don't know!), and 'show' me his snake. He'd point out the markings in great detail and then rush off to put it back in its hole in the ground.

The symptoms of the condition are as follows:

* Abnormal displays of emotion.

* Confusion.

* Depressive and suicidal thoughts.

* Disorganized thoughts and speech.

* Mania, (extreme excitement).

* False beliefs, (delusions).

* Loss of touch with reality.

* Mistaken perceptions.

* Seeing, hearing feeling or perceiving things that aren't there, (hallucinations).

* Unfounded fear and/or suspicion.

Now, on top of all this, some poor people have major depressive disorder with psychotic features thrown at them. This, together with psychosis, is a singularly nasty condition in which not only do they have reduced contact with reality, they also have to suffer major, or clinical, depression. Things may run riot in such a state, because they can suffer all forms of false beliefs, (delusions), or seeing and hearing things that aren't really there, (hallucinations).

What may often happen is that they start to hear voices that criticize them, telling them that they aren't good enough, that they really ought to kill themselves. A quick look at the possible causes of psychosis are;

* Alcohol and certain drugs.

* Brain tumors.

* Dementia.

* Epilepsy.

* Bipolar disorder.

* Psychotic depression.

* Schizophrenia.

* Stroke.

Interestingly enough, though, there are people who don't fit the clinical definition of psychosis, but who seem to experience different realities. People in the general population have had religious experiences and of course we've all heard about the ones who insist they've been taken up to a space ship and either had experiments carried out on them, or have been impregnated by aliens and given birth to alien babies.

Because of all these experiences, it's been posited that psychosis is simply an extreme state of consciousness that falls outside what most of us would understand as normal




To have depression thrown at you as well as being psychotic is particularly nasty. We strongly recommend going to have a look at Mike Bond's site, The Hypnosis Attraction, where you'll find all manner of psychological and hypnotic matter discussed and have a lot of your questions answered
