What's the difference between manic depression and major depressive disorder?
That's helpful. Is there any difference in how they're treated?
Yes, the treatment for bipolar disorder typically involves mood stabilizing medication, such as lithium or anticonvulsants. Treatment for major depressive disorder often involves antidepressants, therapy, or a combination of both. It's important to consult with a mental health professional to determine the best course of treatment for each individual case.
