Depression affects the whole person.
It is not the temporary blues or the passing sad moods that people experience after loss. Depression is not grief. Bipolar Depression is an emotional roller coaster of cycles of terrible lows and inappropriate highs. These severe mood cycles are sometimes called manic-depressive illness. In the Bipolar and Depressive Disorders Support Groups, we offer on-going support, information, education, understanding and reassurance to those experiencing these mental illnesses.
