Depression and Mania—The Two Moods of Bipolar Depression

During a depression state of bipolar, individuals will experience either intense sadness or possibly numbness for a large portion of the day. The feelings will persist for a minimum of two weeks and be accompanies by disinterest in everyday life and by three of the following:

  1. An increase or decrease in an individual’s weight or appetite.
  2. Difficult emotions such as worthlessness, shame, and/or guilt.
  3. A severe drop in one’s energy and/or endurance.
  4. Fluctuations in psychomotor skills (for example, nervous and rapid toe tapping or possibly slurred speech).
  5. Indecisiveness and difficulty focusing.
  6. Sleeping too much or insomnia.
  7. Idealization of suicide or dying.

Bipolar strikes on two fronts. If the depressive cycle were not enough for individuals to handle, they will also experience a form of mania. Mania is not always frenetic happiness. It can also be frenetic irritability or anger. The DSM-5 describes in more detail:

  1. A frantic and heightened state that can be irritable or jubilant. In either case, the state will last for a minimum of seven days.
  2. When the individual’s mood is jubilant, three symptoms from the following list will be present. When the individual’s mood is irritated, then four will be displayed:
    • Thoughts and emotions that constantly race and do not rest.
    • Reduced sleep but increased energy.
    • Skipping from one task to another quickly, with unfocused attention.
    • Making detailed and obsessive plans.
    • Increased talkativeness.
    • An amplified and unrealistic sense of self and self-esteem.
    • Irrational decisions that put oneself or others in harm’s way.
  3. These behaviors cannot be caused by drug use or medication.
  4. True mania has one of the following results in an individual’s life:
    • Interference with an individual’s ability to function in daily life.
    • Hospitalization in order to prevent or treat harm.
    • Delusions, hallucinations, or psychosis.

I haven’t had any issues whatsoever. My therapist Ellen Moncrief has been amazing and I always look forward to being able to work with her during our sessions. She listens and does everything she can to help me learn new and better ways of coping and always helps me get better at using the coping skills I already have. I’m grateful for everything she and therapy have been able to do for me and continue to do for me.

★★★★★
Ellen is a very professional and kind therapist. She’s committed and present. She is honest and accountable. The best part about working with Ellen is that my whole life changed for the better. Before that I was anxious all the time. I struggled with depression, conflict management, blowing up, and just generally didn’t have an understanding of myself so I would lose control a lot. As soon as I started working with Ellen I was ready for a big change. While a lot improved over the first year, with more time I was able to be discharged and I am fully confident that I will know how to manage things that may come up in the future. She was patient and knowledgeable as she would teach and guide me through DBT, IFS, and anything else that may help. I liked that we would practice a lot together and discuss how the skills were being applied. In my experience Ellen is very skilled across the board but the part that made so much clarity and improvement possible is that she would let us pause at any time and she could just witness my life feel hard. She was a supportive presence who would be there multiple dead end weeks in a row, still there, still kind and full of care. Even when I was in a deep rut, avoiding the work, or over it all, she never pushed too hard to keep working. She just let me be where I was and without her excellent care I really do not believe I would be able to look forward to life in the same way I do now.
