Drug abuse, mental stress like significant loss, career stress may affect a person’s activity leading into depression.

Some general factors like being easily distracted, higher than usual frequency of talking, reduced sleep, high or irritated mood etc

The difference between bipolar & depressive disorder can be measured as depression disorder is unipolar whereas bipolar disorder is mania”.

You may feel frustrated by talking with a person having bipolar disorder with whom you cannot argue on a specific topic. Staying away from intense conversation with the affected person is highly recommended by professionals.
