Depression - 2 sides to it - normal??!

Posted by kevinp_au on January 19, 2001, at 21:55:19

This is a little long just so we stay on track. Since separation in 1996. I have been on Zoloft, Efexor, Aropax 20, Dothiepin, and now Aurorix, Moclobemide.
- None have done any good. It terms of lifting me out of depression. I drink, (to sleep) and I smoke (addictive personality.)
Now trying hypnotherapy - best effect so far. Plus valium although doctors don't seem to want to prescribe it.
Of course living alone doesn't help and you become a burden on your friends.
PUZZLE
Depression has 2 sides:
a) anxiety, restless, insomnia, lack of concentration, hyper activity etc.
b) depressed, miserable, worry, suicidal, crying, can't cope.

Questions
1) Is above generally right?
2) What is the normal we are trying to achieve
3) What is the best way to 'come down' from this state?
Also
1) What is bipolar?
regards
and a better new year to all.
