Well....I really wasn't sure where to post this, so mods/admin...move it if you think it would get better results somewhere else.
Today in T, I was describing how I was feeling just internally anxious and agitated....I admit I was feeling manic inside...but I wasn't exhibiting other behaviors that come along with mania.
T said something about that she has seen in me, over the last year she's been treating me, that I have a lot of agitated depression. I never really heard that term before, so of course I go and google it when I get home.
It sounds spot on to me, from what I have been reading...which is kind of comforting....but I wanted to ask any of the folks out there who have a bit more education in Psychology what the technical difference is between agitated depression and bi-polar disorder? Is it a continuum thing, like dissociation? I have close family members who are bi-polar, and I know that it tends to run in families, but I don't see Bi-Polar in me though, however I do see the agitated depression.
Are they one in the same? I plan on asking T next week. I didn't think to ask her today....but I just wanted to get other educated thoughts on it.
Thanks for any responses.
