《 VIEWS OF SELF 》 . . How do you view yourself? 🤔 . If you have bipolar disorder, the answer could be quite different, depending on if you're manic, depressed, or at baseline! . The DSM diagnostic criteria takes this into account by listing features such as "inflated self esteem or grandiosity" & "feelings of worthlessness or excessive/inappropriate guilt." . . One study even looked at how bipolar patients evaluate themselves while manic/depressed vs when they were at baseline. . Both staff and patients rated patient depression similarly, noting decreases in sociability, in interest, and in feelings of acceptance & increases in feelings of deprivation, aggression and rejection of others. . While manic, patients saw themselves as sociable, trusting, moderately impulsive, cautious, & not stubborn or aggressive. . However, the staff saw manic patients as only moderately sociable, somewhat distrustful, extremely impulsive, aggressive, rejecting of others, and incautious and unafraid. . Once at baseline and asked to evaluate once again how they were while manic, the patients' views of their manic selves were much more similar to those of the staff than to even their own ratings produced while manic. . Platman & colleagues concluded that "the self-critical judgmental process is severely impaired in the manic but not the depressed state. This is consistent with the well-known fact that manic patients do not usually admit to any illness, or that they deny the maladaptive nature of their behavior." . 📚: Manic-Depressive Illness: Bipolar Disorders and Recurrent Depression Volume I, p. 327 👥: Goodwin & Jamison . #bipolardisorder #bipolar #manicdepression #mooddisorder #psychology #psychiatry #mania #hypomania #depression
