10 Symptoms of Bipolar Depression
Symptom #3: Delusions
While we live in a world that is very much based in reality, we are also free to explore fiction at will. Our minds are able to create all sorts of characters and scenarios that don’t exist and, for the most part, this is a good thing. People with bipolar depression, however, often find that the lines between fiction and reality become blurred, and this can make life very difficult.
For a person with bipolar depression, fictions played out in their mind become reality. These fictions are often negative with narratives of impending disaster. It can be important for people around them to realize that, although to them it is fiction, it is still very real to the person experiencing the delusion.
