What are some signs of manic depression?

My son has bipolar, what some still refer to as manic depression.

Basic signs of depression are: Constant feeling of sadness, sleeping too much or sleep disturbances, loss of appetite or increased appetite, irritability, loss of concentration, loss of interest in things that use to interest you, isolation, sometimes anxiety, etc...

Bipolar is generally combined with feelings of depression and mania. Signs of mania are generally: feelings hyper, very talkative, engaging in risky behavior such as physical stunts, promiscuous sex or fights, staying awake for two or three days at a time, aggressive behavior, irrational and sometimes bragging, etc...

If you think you might be depressed or bipolar, you need to seek counseling. Therapists can offer helpful advice in learning how to deal with the symptoms. and you don't want to let it go on until the symptoms spiral out of control. Most of all, love yourself enough to take care of yourself. You've taken the first step, so keep going until you find the help you need.

I hope that helps.

if ur in school, i take it u r a teenage, this is the time that chemically & physically ur body is changing, hormones, etc, it could be a combination of that and the pressure with school,peers. its not good to be around people that want to critize u all the time, but remember this, when they r downing u,its sometimes a reflection of what they dont like about themselves/or they may be jealous of u. change ur friends, and i know u dont want tolook anything up. but my mom thought i was bipolar years ago, i heard so many different meanings of it i was going crazy, but just recently i went to www.webmd.com and looked up mental illness and read everyone of them and guess what, i learned alot, u can get an idea of symptoms and examples of things, go there look up manic depression, it dont sound like thats u. let me know what u find if ur not

. It's not the 'manic' you should try to define. Your solution to feeling Xtremely sad is to find the reason.
You just listed them. take some of that pressure OFF. Quit trying so hard. It'll kill ya.
