"Bipolar disorder (previously known as manic depression) is a psychiatric diagnostic category describing a class of mood disorders in which the person experiences clinical depression and/or mania, hypomania, and/or mixed states. The disorder can cause great distress among those afflicted and those living with them. Left untreated, bipolar disorder can be a disabling condition, with a high risk of death through suicide."
"The difference between bipolar disorder and unipolar disorder (also called major depression) is that bipolar disorder involves both elevated and depressive mood states. The duration and intensity of mood states varies widely among people with BiPolar disorder. Fluctuating from one mood state to the next is called "cycling". Mood swings can cause impairment or improved functioning depending on their direction (up or down) and severity (mild to severe). There can be changes in one's energy level, sleep pattern, activity level, social rhythms and cognitive functioning. Some people with Bipolar disorder may have difficulty functioning during these times."

ReplyDeleteLovely as they are, is it not possible that the blue light that filters through these bottles contributes to your intermittent depressions? Don't you have any pink, orange or yellow bottles? Or maybe the blue assists in stabilising your hypomanias.
ReplyDeleteColours do affect us in the most mundane ways at times. Why is red always associated with romantic love, for instance? Why not brown?
Kodeureum- Maybe bcs love is directly related to the heart, and the heart is full of blood, which is red!?

Recently, researchers have discovered that a very specific range of blue light is the most effective color (wavelength) in treating seasonal affective disorder and other circadian rhythm related mood disorders. Apollo has spent the last several years working with leading experts to develop our innovative line of BLUEWAVE™ products. The patent-pending goLITE delivers only the most effective wavelengths, which means a more convenient treatment, and fewer side effects than traditional 10,000 lux full-spectrum light therapy devices.

The blue light did have an effect on my circadian rhythm.
