WHAT IS MANIC DEPRESSION?

Somebody suffering from manic depression goes constantly through periods of extreme mood states. One moment they can be very down and depressed and the next they can be euphoric and active. Manic depression is therefore also known as bipolar mood disorder.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON SUFFERING FROM MANIC DEPRESSION

In periods of depression they can be very gloomy, listless, tired and quiet and feel very little sense of self-worth. In manic periods they can be excessively enthusiastic, irritable, very busy, impulsive, easily distracted, obtrusive and sometimes aggressive.

BACH FLOWER ESSENCES MAKE LIFE MORE BALANCED

· Impulsivity

Someone suffering from manic depression will act very impulsively in a manic period. They act first before they think. This way things happen which they then regret having done. Bach Flower Essences give the necessary tranquillity to first take a moment to think before acting.

· Aggression

A manic-depressive person can come across as being quite obtrusive. This can sometimes result into inappropriate aggressive behaviour that the person has no longer control over. Because flower essences will bring calmness and tranquillity such that this aggression will have little or no chance to reoccur.

· Full of themselves

In a manic period the person can experience a heightened feeling of self-worth. They are convinced of their own truths and it is hard to get other points of view across to them. This can lead to unreasonable behaviour and tensions socially, at work and the house. Bach Flower Essences will promote sense of reality and leave room for other people’s ideas.

· Feelings of despair and pessimism

Someone suffering from manic depression who is going through a depressive phase will see everything very gloomy and dark. They don’t see the meaning of life and feels very desperate. Bach Flower Essences help give back zest for life and overcome this despair.

· Less interest in work and hobbies

It takes a lot of a manic-depressive person to keep showing interest in their job. Sometimes he/she can muster enough interest into their hobbies but that isn’t a lot either. Flower essences will help keep the interest alive so the hobbies and life don’t get boring.

Often in a depressive phase they will suffer from excessive guilt feelings. These are often unjustified and will bring the spirits of the manic depressive person down. Through Bach Flower Essences self-blame gets dealt with, helping to no longer feeling guilty about things they aren’t responsible for.
