With an affective syndrome, a person has a mood disorder. This, in contrast to one-day depression, lasts much longer.
This disease by nature is divided into two types: depressive (melancholy) and bipolar affective disorder (BAR). They differ in that the second is characterized by manic syndromes. The cause of this disease is unknown.
Signs of a depressive disorder are considered factors such as: depressed mood, lethargy, hopeless sadness, heaviness or pain in the region of the heart and head. Patients see everything in a gloomy light, perceive past grievances too closely.
Such people are monotonous all day. They hardly move and are in the same position, without the desire to do anything. If suicidal thoughts are present, we can state the extreme severity of depression. It is also possible to observe a decrease in memory, a slowdown in speech. Bipolar disorder is accompanied by increased mood, an extreme desire for work, cheerfulness, good mood, a surge of strength. It can develop into schizophrenia, epilepsy, and many other mental illnesses. During manic syndrome, there is an improvement in intellectual abilities, hypermnesia (exacerbation of memory), leaps of ideas. With a complex version, hallucinations, hypochondriacal delusions, suicidal tendencies can develop.
