Major cause of disability and suicide.<br>
slide5. ETIOLOGY 1. Biological Factors
More common in monozygotic twins.
Unipolar depressions in a parent
Abnormalities in Amine Neurotransmitters
Neuroendocrine abnormalities in hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis.
Rapid hormonal changes<br>
slide6. ETIOLOGY 2. Psychological Factors
Major life events
Interpersonal relations (absent or unsatisfactory significant special bonds have negative effect on self regards)

1. Complete blood picture 2. ESR
3 .B12/folate 4. Liver function test
5. Thyroid function test 6. Glucose level
7. Calcium level<br>
slide11. Investigations Focused investigations :only if indicated by history and/or physical signs:
1.Urine or blood toxicology
2. Breathe or blood alcohol
3. Arterial blood gas (ABG)
4. Thyroid antibodies

Lack of breakdown of social supports

slide14. TREATMENT Continue….
Second line of treatment:
When the first line treatment fail.
Unacceptable side effects from 1st line drug.
Change of antidepressant to different class or the same class with different side effect.
Electro convulsive therapy
May be use when there are severe biological features (significant weight loss/ reduced appetite) or marked psychomotor retardation.<br>
slide15. Dysthymia a chronic, low-grade, depressed, or irritable mood that lasts for at least 2 years (Mild, chronic depression for at least 2 years)
Common psychiatric comorbidities: major depression (up to 75%),
“ Double Depression” anxiety disorders (up to 50%), personality disorders (20–40% ), somatoform disorders (2.8%–45.2%), substance abuse (up to 50%)

slide28. Other features:
Decreased need of sleep
Increased appetite
later decreased food intake
over-activity
Absent insight into illness
Psychotic features of delusions, hallucinations (mood incongruent psychotic features)<br>
slide29. Causes of Mania
The most common cause is bipolar disorder- experience cycles of mania and depression over several weeks or months
bipolar disorder don’t have any predictable mania triggers, making the onset of manic episodes unpredictable.
also be caused by drugs or medications, especially stimulants<br>
slide30. Diagnosing Mania
An individual must experience at least three of the following symptoms for at least a week to meet the criteria for bipolar disorder:
Reduced need for sleep
Increased rate of speech
Being easily distracted
Raised self-esteem
Increased interest in goal-oriented activities
Psychomotor agitation (such as pacing or hand-wringing)
Increased pursuit of risky or dangerous activities<br>
slide31. Mania Treatment and Recovery
Typically, acute mania treatment is part of a broader bipolar disorder treatment.

Mania management may involve hospitalization and therapy with a psychiatrist.
Long-term treatment to address the symptoms of bipolar disorder typically involves continued therapy and medications,<br>
slide32. MANAGEMENT
1. Hospitalization.
2. Pharmacotherapy -Mood stabilizers -Antipsychotics
3. Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
