Det är lika vanligt att utveckla ångest som depression direkt efter mani

Adults with bipolar disorder are just as likely to develop anxiety as depression following an episode of mania, according to data from a national survey of more than 34,000 adults. This finding, published today in Molecular Psychiatry, may expand our understanding of bipolar disorder to include anxiety.

Intressant. Den här biten fångade också mitt öga:

Results of the report align with earlier research demonstrating that depression and anxiety commonly co-occur, and with twin studies indicating that depression and a common form of anxiety known as generalized anxiety disorder behave virtually as the same genetic condition.

Ja förhållandet mellan ångest och depression är ju snårigt tycker jag.

Ja, det kan bli lite krångligt att skilja på vad som är vad också... Tror aldrig jag har varit deprimerad utan ångest... men ångest har man haft utan depression. Vet inte om jag upplevt att efter en (hypomani) att jag haft ångest men ingen depression, det låter främmande för mig. Men å andra sidan brukar jag ju inte så ofta vara eutym heller.
