What are the symptoms of Manic Depression? - Dr. Sulata Shenoy

Bipolar disorder was earlier known as manic depression because it emphasizes the two phases of the bipolar disorder. The first one being the manic phase where the person is excessively exuberant, excited, impulsive, on the go, takes restless and reckless decisions, maybe spendthrift, has no sense of sometimes moral propriety, or illegal consequences and sometimes lands into trouble. The flip side is that this kind of high energy and mood can frequently turn into low mood, wherein the person can feel conversely very depressed, sad withdrawn, a social recluse, may stop eating and sleeping, lock himself inside not socialize, not come outside the four walls of the house and this can lead to serious psychosocial disturbances in thinking and acting and sometimes can lead to suicide. Now while all of go through certain mood awing, high and low, which is considered normal. Something that doesn’t go our way make us feel sad and upset, makes us upset, irritable angry ad something like when we win a lottery or where we are very happy about any event in our life can make us feel very joyful and excited. Now this is to be expected and this is not be confused with bipolar disorder in bipolar disorders the main thing is that it is irrational, not linked to outward situations or people or events and the person goes through this very distressing and dysfunctional phases probably as a result of neurochemical imbalances in the brain. So now we know that these symptoms of bipolar disorder or manic depression which was earlier known as , has to do with some kind of dysfunction of the brain and that is why a combination of medicines, psychiatric medication and psychotherapy works good for bipolar disorder. Medication by itself may not lead you to lead a fully functional life and this is where the role of a psychiatrist may be imperative to understand the stress and strain of daily living, not to give into excessive mood swings and to lead a life with equanimity, purpose and meaning.
