Great that you're doing a paper on it because the topic was taboo for so long and people had to try to hide it, lots of luck!.
Also great answers besides the ship and the sailors because sexual desire may get lost with depression and rage uncontrollably with mania meaning the gay sailors would get raped!.
l have had bi-polar since the days they called it "neurosis" which meant "you're an out-of-whack imbecile, thinking only of yourself and selfish, nobody can help you but yourself and it's up to you to figure out how to do it" You still hear some of that today!.
Or "get a job!" when you can't remember, can't concentrate, know they're all talking about you behind your back, keep crying and/or fighting!.
There's a cartoon, two doctors are talking at a party and one of them says, "It's simple, if the patient calls it's depression, if the family calls it's mania!."
With depression you feel emotional pain, shame, guilt, don't want to see your own face in the mirror much less show it to anyone else!. With mania you're flying high, you have the right and the ability to do anything that pops into your head, reason flies out the window, you have no idea anything is wrong with you, and then somebody else may have to pick up the wreckage because you are too depressed to get out of bed!. And that's bi-polar 2, the milder form! Now imagine having depression and mania at the same time!.
For me depressive illness has done to my life exactly what a lawnmower does to a lawn

These disorders are so severe they may cause death, and are ground for SS disability!. They're covered under the Act For Americans with Disabilities, which allows use of a companion animal that can accompany you everywhere-

Lucky you, that you just get to write a paper about it while my dog goes everywhere with me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have OCD!. Its sorta like being anxious all day, everyday!. There are things that make it worse and things that make it feel better!. I have a lot of thoughts that I don't want to have, like picturing someone hurting me, or cutting my finger off, of my husband catching on fire, etc!. I can't get them out of my head!. I have a tremendous fear of being alone at night which i am having to work out!. Every noise scares me and I think someone is trying to get into my house!. Then my brain goes crazy thinking of all the horrible things they are going to do to me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey its your great friend anyways I know you know i have OCD but you dont knowing my life of living my Life with it!.!.!.!.!.Back in Freshman yr I was going through so many things for example depresstion !. I had OCD about germs, I know that sounds weird but its true!. My mom blames her self because growing up my mom would always make sure I washed my hand, so i did it alot!.!.!.When i was alittle girl I never liked to get dirty and play in mudd or roll on the grass, now I am 18 and my OCD has gottin alot better since im on meds!.
Freshman yr was so crazy w having OCD my friend Willie went to lay my purse on the floor and I flipped out and he just looked at me and laughted he didnt understnad what was wrong he thought I was just kidding around until I was crying!.It was too imbarassing to say why i didnt want my purse on the floor it was also like a security blanket just like in freshman math class w Mrs!. Adolt I had my Purse on my Lap and she said got mad at me and told me to put it on the floor she thought i was texting or something but little did she know I had OCD i didnt like putting my stuff on the floor bez of germs and I would never touch money and if i did I washed my hand right away after it!. I would never touch the handle on doors and anything that wasnt mine like computers pens extra!. also if I dropped my pen or pencil on the floor I would rub hand sanatizer on it or lysol I even spraid it on my cell phone bez i let some one touch my cell phone!.
I still have OCD but it will never be completly gone but it has gottin soooooo much better then my freshman yr!. So those are just some of the experince I had in my life with having OCD!. I also thinks my mom has it bez everytime we leave the house she pulls the door handle like 5 million times just to make sure it wont open and she always 4gets if she unplugged her iron and she always worries about its not unplugged and that are house is going to burn down and another one is we have 2 cats and a dog my mom always tells me to make sure when I leave the house to make sure they are all there bez she thinks they are gonna sneak outside and past me run away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nightmare, I'm depressed in the morning and manic at night, emotionally unstable, low frustration tolerance!.

At night imagine the ending scene from Sarface played over and over again every night, combined with terrible hangover depression the next morning, combined with shell-shock like crying breakdowns and emotional instability!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
