Bipolar Depression And Other Depressions
Known to be with us since man started recording history, this depressive disorder has been read in the Old Testament like Job and King David, suffered from this mental illness. The Greek physician Hippocrates called depression, melancholia (a black bile). It is a clinical depression, a serious medical disorder that is negative in nature and affects our feelings, thinking and our actions. Most of what we experience today has been written in literature arts many years ago. But what does this mental illness - depressive disorder or a bipolar depression disorder mean? During the 18th century, this mental illness was portrayed as a weakness of temperament which was inherited from family members. In the beginning of the this century Freud linked the progress of depression to guilt and conflict.
The Two Divisions
During the middle of this century depression was divided into two:
• Endogenous: linked to a genetic origin, this depression is coming from within the body and probably is caused by the body itself but nobody knows the source. Bipolar depression happens to fall under this category.
•Neurotic or reactive: depression is caused from outside, like the death of a loved one, losing somebody special and the loss of the only source of income. In 70s and the 80s, the focus changed from “the cause”, to the “effects” of depression on victims.
Nobody knows what causes depression or bipolar depression, but all would agree that:
• It is a syndrome that reflects severe sad, irritable mood which can be classed as abnormal sadness or grief. These feelings of sadness of depression are both intense and takes a long time when compared to the normal ups and downs.
•The main signs are the physical symptoms like, crying spells, aches in the body, very low energy in both work, sex, thoughts, moods and behaviors. Eating, weight and sleeping problems are other problems included.
• Depression increases coronary artery disease, HIV, asthma, and some other diseases. Death rate is alarming with victims of this depressive conditions.
• In the United States alone the huge financial and human costs includes - treatment and other indirect costs, like lost in productivity and absenteeism of workers can be enormous.
