Under what circumstances will depression turn into bipolar disorder?

Depression and bipolar disorder are two completely different mental illnesses. Bipolar disorder is more inclined to the category of mental illness, depression. Under the result of some comprehensive factors, it will turn into bipolar disorder. From my personal experience, I analyze it from the following 5 aspects:

1. The initial diagnosis was diagnosed with depression, but the improper use of antidepressants will cause drug-induced mania. If. If the medication regimen is not adjusted in time, it is easy to cause alternating depression and mania, which will turn into bipolar disorder. The treatment of depression cannot be separated from antidepressants, but the use of Kang medicine must be reasonable. Do not change the medicine by yourself, let alone add or subtract medicines at will!

2. The influence of the external environment cannot be ignored, including major family changes, death of relatives, divorce, unemployment, and lovelorn, etc. Depressed patients are more sensitive in their emotions, and these external stimuli lead to collapse. After experiencing these stimuli, the originally very low mood suddenly turns into a very high mood, boasting, and compared with the original personality, it is like two different people. You must be highly vigilant about bipolar disorder!

3. We must also pay attention to the role of genetic factors, because the symptoms of hypomania are easier to ignore in bipolar battles. If there are genes for bipolar disorder in the family, including parents or siblings with a history of illness, then when depression occurs, we must pay great attention to bipolar disorder. It is just a change in the time of onset. In related studies, genetic inheritance plays a decisive role in the onset of bipolar disorder!

4. Personality traits are also very important. If a person's personality is more introverted, especially loves to be serious, pursues perfection, and is more paranoid, thinks about problems, is more extreme, has extremely unstable emotions, and lacks rational thinking, when people with such personality traits encounter depression, they are more likely to turn into bipolar disorder!

5. Do not ignore the role of the original family. If a person's family relationships are not harmonious, including the relationship with parents and the relationship between husband and wife, and there is a lack of corresponding social support systems, such as work is not going well, interpersonal relationships are tense, and the personality is usually withdrawn, and there are no real close friends, when encountering depression, it is easy to go to the other extreme, and it is easier to induce bipolar disorder!

So it is not accidental that depression turns into bipolar disorder. In other words, when you have a depressive episode, you may be in the depressive stage of bipolar disorder. When you go to the doctor or see a doctor, coupled with the lack of medical experience and the neglect of manic symptoms, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as depression. It may also be the first episode of depression. With the above characteristics, it is also easy to turn into bipolar disorder!
