Fatigue | Depressive
Unlike several manic symptoms, a patient struggling with depressive episodes is likely to experience extreme tiredness and fatigue. This is a good indication, as they tend to sleep for more extended hours, feel the need to remain in bed, and no motivation to get out of bed for day-to-day life.
More so, they feel hopeless and intensely upset. Other signs associated with a depressive episode may include crying for more extended hours consecutively. Typically, a patient may feel lonely, miserable, and firmly believe life has little or nothing to offer. That’s all: at a point when this sad emotion becomes intense, patients have no clue why they suddenly feel such intense emotions. Such episodes can be confusing and frightening.
In other instances where bipolar depression is severe as opposed to mild, patients may find it difficult to get emotional. They often get emotionless, rather than being sad. Sufferers may feel empty, numb, or hollow.
