Reclaiming your power during medication appointments with your psychiatrist CAUTION Using antidepressant medication to treat depression in a person who has bipolar disorder may induce manic symptoms if it is taken without a mood stabilizer. In addition, using stimulant medications to treat ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms in a child with bipolar disorder may worsen manic symptoms. While it can be hard to determine which young patients will become manic, there is a greater likelihood among children and adolescents who have a family history of bipolar disorder. If manic symptoms develop or markedly worsen during antidepressant or stimulant use, a physician should be consulted immediately, and diagnosis and treatment for bipolar disorder should be considered.
PostpartumExperience.com
An informational site by a mother who has suffered from PPD and is currently collecting personal experience stories in order to compile a book about a range of postpartum mood disorders.
http://www.postpartumexperience.com/index.html

Extractions: Of course there are many experiences that women have after having a baby, not just one. In fact, there is a whole spectrum. My name is Teresa Twomey. I am working on a book which will be a compilation of stories across the spectrum - from the "ideal" postpartum experience all the way through to infanticide. I want to share actual first-hand accounts that tell the true story of what it is like to have "baby blues," postpartum depression, severe postpartum depression, postpartum OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), postpartum anxiety, postpartum PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), postpartum bipolar 2, and postpartum psychosis. The main reason I became involved in creating this book is that I had a variety of postpartum disorders myself. At times I was terrified. Nothing I had read prepared me for the experiences that I went through. When I finally found a name for my experience, I was still unable to find any stories of women with similar experiences. It was a very lonely feeling. I needed the kind of healing that comes from knowing "you are not alone" and "you will get better." (In fact, when I first heard the "universal message" of Postpartum Support International: "You are not alone. You are not to blame. You will be well. Your experience is real and there is help." - It felt like coming home.)

http://www.lpch.org/DiseaseHealthInfo/HealthLibrary/mentalhealth/overview.html

Extractions: Early-onset depression often persists, recurs, and continues into adulthood. Depression in youth may also predict more severe illness in adulthood. A category of mental health problems that include all types of depression and bipolar disorder, mood disorders are sometimes called affective disorders. During the 1980s, mental health professionals began to recognize symptoms of mood disorders in children and adolescents, as well as adults. However, children and adolescents do not necessarily experience or exhibit the same symptoms as adults. It is more difficult to diagnose mood disorders in children, especially because children are not always able to express how they feel. Today, clinicians and researchers believe that mood disorders in children and adolescents remain one of the most under-diagnosed mental health problems. Mood disorders in children also put them at risk for other conditions (most often anxiety disorder, disruptive behavior, and substance abuse disorders) that may persist long after the initial episodes of depression are resolved.

Extractions: Researchers and clinicians are seeing a dramatic rise in the rate of mood disorders in children. However, it is difficult to accurately diagnose mood disorders in children, and the development of the illness is not well understood. Children often present with symptoms which are complex and which are different from the typical pattern of symptoms seen in adults. Thus it is difficult to predict what course childhood disorders will take as these children mature into adulthood and also difficult to know how to treat these disorders. It is therefore important to better describe childhood mood disorders for recognition and treatment. Children of parents with mood disorders (such as major depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder, cyclothymia) are at risk for developing mood disorders themselves. This risk may be as high as 24% if many relatives have mood disorders. Children with only one parent with bipolar disorder appear to have about a 14% chance of developing bipolar disorder themselves. High rates of other mood disorders such as depression, dysthymia (chronic mild depression) and cyclothymia (mild mood swings) in children of parents with bipolar disorder have also been reported.

http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/miic-mmac/chap_2_e.html

Extractions: Foreword Acknowledgements Summary Chapter 1 Mental Illnesses in Canada - An Overview ... Next Mood disorders include major depression, bipolar disorder (combining episodes of both mania and depression) and dysthymia. Approximately 8% of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives. Approximately 1% will experience bipolar disorder. The onset of mood disorders usually occurs during adolescence. Worldwide, major depression is the leading cause of years lived with disability, and the fourth cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Mood disorders have a major economic impact through associated health care costs as well as lost work productivity. Most individuals with a mood disorder can be treated effectively in the community. Unfortunately, many individuals delay seeking treatment. Hospitalizations for mood disorders in general hospitals are approximately one and a half times higher among women than men. The wide disparity among age groups in hospitalization rates for depression in general hospitals has narrowed in recent years, because of a greater decrease in hospitalization rates in older age groups. Hospitalization rates for bipolar disorder in general hospitals are increasing among women and men between 15 and 24 years of age.

http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/genpsymooddisorders.html

Extractions: Mood Disorders [Note: The following is from Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General, U.S. Public Health Services (1999), available at http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/mentalhealth/home.html In 1 year, about 7 percent of Americans suffer from mood disorders, a cluster of mental disorders best recognized by depression or mania. Mood disorders are outside the bounds of normal fluctuations from sadness to elation. They have potentially severe consequences for morbidity and mortality. Major Depression The cardinal symptoms of major depressive disorder are depressed mood and loss of interest or pleasure. Other symptoms vary enormously. For example, insomnia and weight loss are considered to be classic signs, even though many depressed patients gain weight and sleep excessively. It is twice more common in women than in men. Anxiety is commonly comorbid with major depression. About one-half of those with a primary diagnosis of major depression also have an anxiety disorder (Barbee, 1998; Regier et al., 1998). The comorbidity of anxiety and depression is so pronounced that it has led to theories of similar etiologies, which are discussed below. Substance use disorders are found in 24 to 40 percent of individuals with mood disorders in the United States (Merikangas et al., 1998). Without treatment, substance abuse worsens the course of mood disorders. Other common comorbidities include personality disorders (DSM-IV) and medical illness, especially chronic conditions such as hypertension and arthritis.

http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00056980.html

Extractions: While many people go through sad or elated moods from time to time, people with mood disorders suffer from severe or prolonged mood states that disrupt their daily functioning. Among the general mood disorders classified in the fourth edition (1994) of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV ) are major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder , and dysthymia. In classifying and diagnosing mood disorders, doctors determine if the mood disorder is unipolar or bipolar. When only one extreme in mood (the depressed state) is experienced, this type of depression is called unipolar. Major depression refers to a single severe period of depression, marked by negative or hopeless thoughts and physical symptoms like fatigue. In major depressive disorder, some patients have isolated episodes of depression. In between these episodes, the patient does not feel depressed or have other symptoms associated with depression. Other patients have more frequent episodes. Bipolar depression or bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic depression) refers to a condition in which people experience two extremes in mood. They alternate between depression (the "low" mood) and
