PSYCHOTIC DEPRESSION
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Sometimes, when people feel really sad, they might also start seeing or believing things that aren't real. It's like having scary dreams when you're awake. This happens because the brain's hippocampus and other parts don't work well together. They get confused, which can make it hard for people to tell what's real and what's not.
CAUSE
Psychotic depression can happen because of things like genes or stressful events in a person's life. Sometimes, when people feel really sad, they might also start seeing or believing things that aren't real. Parts of the brain that help us understand the world might not work well, causing people to have scary thoughts or see things that others don't.
EFFECTS
Psychotic depression can make people feel very alone and scared. They might have trouble sleeping or eating and might feel like they don't want to do anything. It can be hard for them to tell what's real and what's not, which can make them feel even more anxious or upset.
BIPOLAR DISORDER
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Imagine feeling super happy and excited one moment, but then suddenly feeling very sad and tired the next. That's what happens to some people with bipolar disorder. Their brains get a little mixed up, and it's hard for them to control their feelings. It's like a rollercoaster ride of emotions because parts of their brain, like the amygdala and neurotransmitters, don't work smoothly.
CAUSE
Bipolar disorder might happen because of things like genes from family members or changes in how parts of the brain work. Sometimes, big changes in mood happen for no clear reason. Parts of the brain that control feelings might work too fast or too slow, causing people to feel super happy one moment and really sad the next.
EFFECTS
Bipolar disorder can make people feel like they're on a rollercoaster of emotions. They might feel very energetic and happy, but then suddenly feel very sad and tired. This can make it hard for them to do things like go to school, work, or spend time with friends. It can also make it tough to sleep or eat properly.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Sometimes, people's brains can play tricks on them, making them see or hear things that aren't really there. This can make them feel scared or confused. It happens because some parts of their brain, like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, don't work the way they should. These parts help us think clearly and understand the world around us.
CAUSE
Schizophrenia can be caused by things that make the brain work differently than usual. This might happen because of genes passed down from family members or things that happen during a person's life, like stress or using drugs. Parts of the brain that help us think clearly and understand things might not work well, making people see or hear things that aren't there.
EFFECTS
Schizophrenia can make it hard for people to do everyday things like going to school or work. They might have trouble telling what's real and what's not, which can be scary. Some might hear voices or believe that others are trying to harm them. This can make them feel very anxious or upset.
