One more thing: it's unlikely that there is a very strong correlation between anxiety and depression. Anxiety might cause depression but it doesn't have to.

So if you don't have bipolar depression, you might still have unipolar depression and anxiety, if you have depression. In other words, it's important/meaningful to make that distinction.

If you have atypical depression, it probably makes it more likely you have BP, but maybe not by much.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
