Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) July 15, 2005 Sponsored by: National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate mood and behavior changes in the time period surrounding and including menopause. This is an observational study; volunteers who participate will not receive any new or experimental therapies. Controversy exists regarding the relationship between estrogen and progesterone (gonadal steroid) changes and midlife-onset depression. This study will examine the role of gonadal steroids in perimenopausal mood and behavioral disorders. Perimenopausal women with depression symptoms and a control group of healthy perimenopausal volunteers will be compared to identify correlates of the occurrence of depression. Participants with depressive symptoms may also participate in companion studies that will test the antidepressant efficacy of phytoestrogens and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS). A group of younger pre-perimenopausal women with normal menstrual cycle functioning will be followed through menopause in an effort to confirm the association of depression onset with changes in reproductive endocrine functioning.

We like to keep the rules simple. We ask that you treat each other with respect. We all need to be treated nicely and we want this to be a friendly room. Talking behind peoples backs and mind games are not welcome. Keep the communication straight, take responsibility for what you say. We will allow a certain amount of foul language, and we also allow discussing triggering subjects. Many chats don't allow these subjects, so we felt there should be a place that does. Triggering subjects are for example suicide, self injury and drug abuse. If you want to talk about upsetting issues in the chat room, it's fair to give the room a warning what you will talk about so those who don't feel stable enough can remove themselves from the conversation. This is not a rule though. It's also good to know leaving out graphic details makes a topic less likely to trigger. For the forums write *trigger* in the subject field.

THE MOOD DISORDER QUESTIONNAIRE This questionnaire was developed to help you recognize the signs of bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a complicated illness and no single questionnaire or test can be used to accurately diagnose this illness. Accurate diagnosis is obtained only through a thorough evaluation with a physician. This questionnaire is a good first step in discovering if you might have this illness but it is not meant to take the place of an evaluation by a physician or a mental health professional. A positive result from this questionnaire suggests that you could benefit from a comprehensive mental health screening. However, regardless of the results of this survey, if you have concerns, contact your physician and/or a mental health professional. DBSA does not endorse or recommend the use of any specific treatment plan or medication. For advice about specific treatments or medications, you should consult your physician and/or a mental health professional. This questionnaire has been developed with an unrestricted educational grant from Abbott Laboratories.

In prepuberty, the point prevalence of major depression has been estimated to range from 1.8 to 2.5%, "minor" forms of depression, including dysthymia, as 2.5%, and bipolar illness as 0.2–0.4% ( ). For adolescents, the point prevalence of depression has been estimated at 2.9–4.7%, dysthymic disorder, 1.6–8.0%, and bipolar disorder, 1%. Depressive illness is equally common in males and females prior to puberty, but it more common in females than males post-pubertally ( ). On the other hand, bipolar disorder is equally prevalent in both genders. Early-onset affective illness has become a much more significant public health problem in recent years. There is evidence of a secular trend for depression and suicide. Successive cohorts born after 1950 have an increased risk for depression and suicide relative to earlier birth cohorts, based on retrospectively and prospectively gathered data ( ), with evidence of a secular trend for depression affecting even prepubertal and adolescent children (

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Mental Health and Behavior Bipolar Disorder Bipolar Disorder Overview Bipolar disorder (BD) is a type of mood disorder. Bipolar disorder was called manic depression in the past, and that term is still used by some people. It is a psychiatric illness that causes major disruptions in lifestyle and health. Everyone has occasional highs and lows in their moods. But people with bipolar disorder have extreme mood swings. They can go from feeling very sad, despairing, helpless, worthless, and hopeless ( depression ) to feeling as if they are on top of the world, hyperactive, creative, and grandiose (mania). This disease is called bipolar disorder because the mood of a person with bipolar disorder can alternate between 2 completely opposite poles, euphoric happiness and extreme sadness. Symptoms of both mania and depression sometimes occur together, in what is called "mixed state." The extremes of mood usually occur in cycles. In between these mood swings, people with bipolar disorder are able to function normally, hold a job, and have a normal family life. The episodes of mood swings tend to become closer together with age. When a person is in the grip of this disease, chaos can occur. Bipolar disorder can cause major disruption of family and finances, loss of job, and marital problems.
