What is the difference between depression and bipolar depression?

You sound 'flat' not manic. I don't think you have bipolar depression, just regular depression. Yes, any kind of counseling would hep.

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.
