The relation to BP: we don't wanna see results of studies that show we do things wrong or even the same and we like to believe all problems are not in any way created by us, like an illness we fight.
Depression (insofar it's more than—physical—exhaustion or under-stimulation) is very much a (more or less subconscious, like everything we actively do) choice we made, the alternatives being worse arguably. Mania is not very different: part autonomous, part actively done by us.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
