Have you heard of major depressive disorder before? If you have heard it before, please know that major depressive disorder can also be referred to as a unipolar depression. The word “unipolar” is just given to describe that depression does not revolve around other mental states like other mental health issues do. For example, bipolar […]
Examine the role of dopamine in acute psychosis and the possibility it may reveal an access to an alternate reality.
unipolar mania can be described as swinging between episodes of mania and normal mood with the absence of depressive episodes. Let’s learn more about unipolar mania
It’s pointless to assume what goes on inside a suicidal mind. To this day, the convergence of complex factors that ultimately drives a person to end his/her life eludes explanation, even by p…
Depression is the most common of the affective disorders (disorders of mood rather than disturbances of thought or cognition); it may range from a very mild condition, bordering on normality, to severe (psychotic) depression accompanied by hallucinations and delusions. Worldwide, depression is a major cause of disability and premature death. There are two distinct types of depressive syndrome, namely unipolar depression, in which the mood swings are always in the same direction, and bipolar affective disorder, in which depression alternates with mania.
OBJECTIVES To assess in further detail the specific form of motivational impairment influencing neuropsychological performance in depression—oversensitivity to perceived failure. The present study considers two questions: firstly whether this is specific to depression and secondly how the effect relates to clinical features. METHODS Unipolar depressed patients and matched controls were assessed on two neuropsychological tests giving explicit performance feedback. The data were analysed in two separate studies to consider the questions above. The first study considered the specificity of the effect to depressed patients, using data on the same tests collected from other patient groups. The second study was a longitudinal assessment of the depressed patients on clinical recovery to determine whether the effect is specific to the depressed state. RESULTS The effect was not seen in non-depressed patient groups, either neurological or psychiatric groups. The longitudinal study showed a residual abnormal response to negative feedback on clinical recovery. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal response to negative feedback is specific to a primary diagnosis of depression and may be a trait rather than a state factor of the disorder. These results are discussed in relation to the putative neuropathology of depression and also to cognitive and behavioural accounts of the disorder. The findings presented here have important implications for establishing a link between mood and cognition in unipolar depression.

Awaken your senses with my Unipolar Sensory Neuron necklace! Hand-cast from Sterling Silver, this is an accurate and detailed representation of a Unipolar Sensory Neuron. Unipolar Sensory Neurons, also known as pseudounipolar, are nerve cells found within the nervous system responsible for touch, taste,sight, sound and muscle response. Scientists have found that the Sensory neuron is linked to Epilepsy, Sensory Processing Disorder and other Sensory Neuropathy Disorders. Sensory Neurons Play A Role In: • Touch, Taste, Sight and Sound • Muscle Contraction 🔬For other science themed jewelry, please check out my main shop page www.etsy.com/shop/molecularmotifs ✦ CUSTOM BIRTHSTONE CHAIN✦ 💕 To make it a bit more personal, you can choose from 12 different gemstones that reflect the birthstone of each month to place on each side of the chain. You will get two on each side. At the end of each gemstone are either sterling silver or 18k gold filled beads. All gemstone chains are solid sterling silver; there is no need to choose in the drop-down menu if you want a gemstone chain I hand select high-quality semi-precious stones from a local vendor. I only choose stones that I feel are beautiful and reflect the gemstone's natural beauty. Since not one stone is the same, every necklace is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation. ✦ DETAILS ✦ • Hand-cast from Sterling Silver • 1.3 inches in length • Weight: Approx. 2 oz • Comes with a complimentary Sterling Silver Adjustable Chain. If you choose Gold or Rose Gold, the chain with also be finished in 18k Gold/18K Rose Gold. ✦ HOW IT'S MADE ✦ Each piece starts out as a wax model. To keep the figure in place, wax sprues are attached to the model and then it is placed inside a steel cylinder. The cylinder is filled with an investment mold material that resembles plaster. After the investment properly sets, the cylinder is placed into a kiln and is brought up to 1,310 degrees in order to burn out the wax (hence the term Lost Wax). The cylinder is then removed from the kiln and placed on a vacuum table machine to get all traces of moisture & air bubbles out. Then, molten metal is poured into the mold to replace the space where the wax once was. When the newly cast piece is slightly cool, it is quenched in water so the investment returns to a clay-like state and is easily removed from the newly cast pieces. Each piece is then smoothed out and polished with your choice of finish. 18k Gold and 18k Rose Gold finishing is also available. ✦ PACKAGING ✦ I package each pendant in a jewelry envelope with an art card.

Bipolar depression is a mental health condition that shares similarities with both bipolar disorder and major depression. This condition can be difficult to diagnose, treat, and manage — especially if you don’t know much about it.
A new online self-management programme to help those suffering from bipolar disorder has just been made freely available to the public. It was developed by Dr Daniel Smith, University of Glasgow, and colleagues at Cardiff University's National Centre for Mental Health.
It's important to understand the major differences between bipolar depression and unipolar depression, and to help educate others about the distinctions.
This review will discuss the role of childhood trauma in bipolar disorders. Relevant studies were identified via Medline (PubMed) and PsycINFO databases published up to and including July 2015. This review contributes to a new understanding of the negative consequences of early life stress, as well as setting childhood trauma in a biological context of susceptibility and discussing novel long-term pathophysiological consequences in bipolar disorders. Childhood traumatic events are risk factors for developing bipolar disorders, in addition to a more severe clinical presentation over time (primarily an earlier age at onset and an increased risk of suicide attempt and substance misuse). Childhood trauma leads to alterations of affect regulation, impulse control, and cognitive functioning that might decrease the ability to cope with later stressors. Childhood trauma interacts with several genes belonging to several different biological pathways [Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, serotonergic transmission, neuroplasticity, immunity, calcium signaling, and circadian rhythms] to decrease the age at the onset of the disorder or increase the risk of suicide. Epigenetic factors may also be involved in the neurobiological consequences of childhood trauma in bipolar disorder. Biological sequelae such as chronic inflammation, sleep disturbance, or telomere shortening are potential mediators of the negative effects of childhood trauma in bipolar disorders, in particular with regard to physical health. The main clinical implication is to systematically assess childhood trauma in patients with bipolar disorders, or at least in those with a severe or instable course. The challenge for the next years will be to fill the gap between clinical and fundamental research and routine practice, since recommendations for managing this specific population are lacking. In particular, little is known on which psychotherapies should be provided or which targets therapists should focus on, as well as how childhood trauma could explain the resistance to mood stabilizers.
