Hello,
i had a major depression for the past 10 months ( that started without any obvious reason btw) and then suddenly all the symptoms and depressive beliefs went away ( i wasn't on medications ) . i started feeling "normal" once again, i could interact more with people, study...etc
then my mood kept going higher and higher, my level of activity became very high as well, i talked excessively, and when i had no one to talk to i would spend hours and hours talking to myself and laughing uncontrolably i also had many other symptoms, and when i looked it up on the internet they were all symptoms of mania/hypomania.
After few weeks, I went to a therapist to seek the answers to all of my questions, but at that time the symptoms were gone and replaced by a depressive behaviour , he diagnosed me with major depression and an anxiety disorder ( he didn't even tell me which anxiety disorder i had) and he totally ignored the symptoms i mentioned to him ( feelings of euphoria, excessive talking, loss of interest in sleeping and eating ..etc) he said it's normal to have these symptoms after going through depression...is that true ? did u have similar symptoms after a depressive episode ?
