What Causes Excessive Crying And Loneliness While Having Bipolar Disorder?
Hi. I ve had bipolar disorder for about 40 years. Tonight I ve very depressed, crying, lonely (even though I m married) I need help from someone who can comfort me as a close friend, talk like you care and give me support... I sometimes pray and that sometimes helps. I m lonely right now mainly because the middle of the night and I don t want to wake anyone up...

Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that it's your own strength that will be useful to make you come out of such depression. Medications such as Effexor (venlafaxine) and sertraline would be useful to deal with acute symptoms. But behavioural therapy is the ultimate solution. Living with family, having positive thoughts, positive routine, never be alone, love etc will help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
