There is a list of specific symptoms that occur with bipolar depression. This includes:
1. A person who is bipolar refuses to see that they have a problem.
2. A person who is bipolar is in contact with reality but they have a very hard time dealing with it and so they cannot impose judgments.
3. A person who is bipolar is extremely irritable. They show their anger, fear and hopelessness through occasional violent and aggressive bouts of behavior. Therefore, someone who has a history of these things should be checked for bipolar.
4. A person who is bipolar has a lot of energy so they are restless all the time. They are also defensive whenever there is a real or perceived threat to them. This means that they will commit to a lot of tasks but become seen as unreliable since they are unable to complete them all.
There have been studies done on brain structure and function, brain-body connections and neurochemical messenger systems (also known as neurotransmitters). These studies suggest that there is an important, delicate two-way relationship between the brain’s behavior, mood and resistance to disease. They have shown that biological, emotional and social problems combine to affect individual patients, their families and the communities that the live in. Bipolar depression occurs when people’s social needs are unmet and they feel that their security and survival are threatened. This form of depression brings about extraordinary alterations in a person’s frame of mind, temper, energy and ability to work.
