Neglecting personal hygiene is also common in severe cases.
Manic-depressive disorder can produce various symptoms ranging from lack of interest to suicidal tendencies or thoughts. The most common manic depression symptoms recognized by medical experts include feelings of intense depression, alternating mood swings, irritability, and anxiety. In the most extreme cases, paranoia can manifest itself in delusional thoughts.
Bipolar and manic depression correlate in terms of symptom ups and downs. During a “high” period, manic behavior can include hyperactivity or exuberance. Symptoms during this time may also include nervousness and an inability to rest or sleep. Combined with a display of animated vivacity, the individual may appear elated and exaggerated with joy and excitement.
Extreme emotions during a high can manifest in ways that lead to irresponsible behavior. In a wholly unrealistic way, the individual may resort to gambling or spending money frivolously. He or she may take unnecessary risks, believing no harm can occur. This is also part of the delusional factor of the associated symptoms. Another symptom during the “high” period is a display of quarrelsome or hostile behavior.
Conversely, during a “low” period it is common to find symptoms characterized by feelings of hopelessness and hopelessness. The individual may show signs of disinterest in activities in which he has always been involved. This loss of interest could be associated with an excessive need for sleep or a reluctance to get out of bed. This could be a key indicator of the emergence of a period low.
Loneliness or a general feeling of sadness may encompass the individual to the point where uncontrollable crying occurs. The person may express feelings of self-loathing and low self-esteem. In this emotional state, the individual may also feel guilty about circumstances that are generally not within her control.
Other indicators of an individual in a depressive state could be a change in eating habits. Loss of appetite is a common symptom of this manic phase; the individual may even stop eating altogether. A significant change in eating patterns can result in weight loss. Occasionally, the individual may become physically ill or more susceptible to disease as their immunological resistance is depleted due to neglect.
Neglect in other ways can be common symptoms of manic depression. People with this disorder may not make an effort to change or dress themselves. People with this disorder may be unable to maintain their appearance. Neglecting personal hygiene by not bathing or brushing your teeth regularly is often a symptom in severe cases of manic depression.
