SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION. PART II ?
Q.Forgot to mention that I am also unable to tolerate alcohol. One drink really knocks me out.
A.all these symptoms that you've mentioned are often experienced by people with chronic fatigue syndrome (i have it, so i know.) if you had that though, your energy level would be so reduced that that would likely be your main complaint. i don't know what causes the alcohol thing. i talk to lots of CFS people on AOL and i hear that complaint over and over - "i can't drink anymore". Sounds to me like sugar problems.. diabetes/hypoglycemia. Frequent peeing and thirst are classic diabetes symptoms. It could be schizophrenia, try taking 2,000mg of chlorpromazine to help you sleep. Bipolar disorder, or manic-depression, is characterized by moods that swing between two opposite poles, alternating between periods of mania (exaggerated euphoria) and depression. The illness is further classified according to symptoms as bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorder. People with bipolar I disorder may experience depressive and manic episodes or just manic episodes (although this is very rare). Patients with bipolar II disorder suffer primarily from depressive episodes with occasional bouts of hypomania (low-grade manic symptoms), but they do not experience full-blown manic phases. In cyclothymic disorder, periods of hypomania alternate with depression. Cylothymic disorder is not as severe as bipolar II and I, but the condition is more persistent, enduring at least two years, with no break in symptoms that lasts more than two months. Cyclothymic disorder may be a precursor to full-blown bipolar disorder in some people or may continue as a low-grade chronic condition. In most cases of bipolar disorder, the depressive phases far outnumber manic phases, and the cycles of mania and depression are not regular or predictable. About 15% of patients have a bipolar course known as rapid cycling, in which the manic and depressive stages alternate at least four times a year and in severe cases, can even progress to several cycles a day A manic episode usually comes on suddenly, and it often, but not always, follows a period of severe depression. Many patients experience a state of both mania and depression (mixed mania), and so some experts now categorize mania into three groups. They are classic mania (euphoria and grandiose feelings with no depression), depressed mania (a mixed state of depression and mania), and dysphoric mania (primary feelings are irritability and paranoia, with unclear patterns of depression).
