Symptom 7. Difficulty Concentrating or Making Decisions
Individuals with bipolar depression often struggle with concentration and decision-making, which can impact various aspects of their lives, including work, school, and personal relationships. This difficulty may be due to the mental fatigue and low energy associated with depressive episodes or a lack of motivation stemming from feelings of hopelessness.
It’s important for those struggling with concentration and decision-making to seek support from a mental health professional, who can help develop strategies for improving focus and overcoming indecision. Techniques such as breaking tasks into smaller steps, setting realistic goals, and practicing mindfulness can help individuals regain control over their thoughts and improve their ability to concentrate and make decisions.
