Bipolar Depression: Two Sides of the Same Person

The first stage symptoms points to depression, while second stage signs referred to as manic stage symptoms makes diagnosis easier.

Depression Help - Recognizing a Symptom of Depression

Recognizing a Symptom of Depression

Apathy is a symptom of depression characterized by the joyless mental state of routine and disinterest in the areas of your life which you once found exciting, or at least interesting.

In acute depression, you will find that you are able to attend your usual functions, such as going to your kids little league games or even getting up to go to work, but you can't seem to get excited about anything.

You can't explain to your spouse, you just don't feel right. Your appetite may decrease (or increase,) you may begin to drink more often, or find that you can not sleep.

The depressed diet includes caffeine, processed sugars, deficiencies in vitamin B, and allergies to certain types of foods. Refined sugars and the treats from the snack machine can aggravate an already depressed system.

Depression Help - Depression Medication Guide

Depression Medication Guide

Depression medications, called anti depressants, are divided into three basic categories. The MAOI's, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, (SSRI's) and tricyclics, or TCA's.

The inhibition of the enzyme allows for more of the good neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine to reach the brain.

Some people will have to take depression medication for life, while others need only take it until the neurotransmitters in the brain rebuild themselves. The body and brain are amazing.
