How can depression affect my partner with bipolar disorder?

Depression is disruptive because it affects the mind and the body. A depressed person often slows down to the point that nothing can get done. Getting out of bed can feel like a monumental task to the depressed brain.

Depression can also cause irritation and unreasonableness. A depressed person may be unhappy and mean, or weepy and clingy. Depression can distort your bipolar partner's thoughts to the point that they can say and do very unreasonable things.

The duration of a major depressive episode can vary substantially from person to person and often persists for a number of months.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
