Sarah and Brenda - Unipolar depression is good old Major Depressive Disorder (clinical depression - no manic side). This is to distinguish pure depression from the mania and depression of Bipolar Disorder. Similar to what Brenda said, I don't really think unipolar and bipolar depression are that distinct, but are on a spectrum from depression to mania. Unipolar depression would then be at or near the depressive end of the spectrum and varying degrees bipolar disorder would be the rest of the spectrum. - Cam W.
