When people discuss bi-polar disorder they refer to a condition known as manic depression. When an individuals mood swings are very irregular with sudden changes from good to bad this is commonly associated with being Bi-Polar. It is just another in the many forms of depression. Sadness over an event isn’t manic depression. Manic depression is far more sinister. Another stage of depression is the diagnosis for bi-polar disorder. Manic depression is diagnosed in millions of cases each year in America. In general 17 million people battle depression each year in America.

Two thirds of those people will never seek medical attention or even a diagnosis. If you do not look for help than it is very hard to find a cure. Mental illness is a red stop sign for many Americans, they don’t want to deal with it. The negative image of someone who is “nuts” is just too much for them. It’s very complex when a disease impacts the brain. When diagnosed there is a stigma that isn’t easy to handle. But having this disease isn’t a sign of personal weakness. It does not mean that you are a nut case. It means you have an illness like any other. If it’s identified it can be cured.

The causes of all forms of depression are still being examined in the medical profession. There are many factors that bring on depression. Doctors take into consideration many things such as biological factors, the environment, and DNA. We know that it seems to be caused by a chemical imbalance on the brain. Stress is another major factor in depression. Life is full of stress. It can be problems at work, in our relationships with those we love or facing the reality of trying to survive week to week. Depression isn’t a condition for only “them”. It can affect the rich and the poor. Race isn’t an issue. Color or nationality provide no protection from this illness.

All the types of depression have similar symptoms. The frequent change in personality, the mood swings that go up and then goes down. The advent of sleeplessness is another sign of depression. If you have no hope, feel helpless or desperate, that could be depression. When your ability to function properly at work and at play becomes ever apparent then the possibility of depression is real. But people with depression have a light at the end of the tunnel. You can find help. Prescription medications as well as natural herbs can cure it. There are also medical professionals that can help your illness through ‘talk therapy’”. Support groups can also be helpful for those with manic depression. There can’t be a cure until help is sought.
