We all have our bad day where everything seems to get on our nerves and good days where even the devil cannot stop you. But when do these mood states become a disorder? Like manic depression, also known as bipolar, most of the mental disorders can be confusing and difficult to identify as their symptoms start off as a part of normal life. However the distinguishing factor is; intensity, duration and effects of mood states in manic depressions tend to be higher than the regular mood states.
Manic depression can be devastating as it affects the individual as well as the people around them. It can be very frustrating and exhausting when you do not know what can trigger these mood states.
