I have noticed this about myself and am still figuring it out....
I used to just consider myself "moody"...an emotional thing. However, as my depression has continued, with it's ups and down (not "sadness" or "happiness"...as I said those are emotional and I can tell the difference)...anyway during the more(?) bad times, I am not someone I recognize as my "normal"....I AM aware--these are not episodes of any sort. I mostly know what I'm saying.
It's almost as if desperation is in charge instead of the (socially acceptable human) me that I know...
Either the medication is changing my brain/personality, or the depression is changing my brain/personality.
As I said, I am still discovering this....so I don't know what to say to your question...It's a good one.
