Struggling with Bipolar Depression - No Mania

Hello everyone, I've been dealing with depression for a few years now, and my psychiatrist recently diagnosed me with bipolar depression, specifically without mania. I'm finding it hard to cope with the constant low moods, and I was wondering if anyone else here has this type of bipolar disorder? What has your experience been, and how do you manage your symptoms? I'd love to hear your stories and any advice you might have. Take care, DepressionSupport

Hi there, Some people with bipolar depression without mania find it helpful to create a daily routine, practice self-care, and engage in activities they enjoy, even if they don't always feel like doing them. Therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, can also be beneficial in managing symptoms. Remember, it's essential to work closely with your mental health professional to find the best approach for you. Warm regards, Admin
