If you drink for a long period of time you will experience alcohol depression. Alcoholics who are maintenance drinkers, or drink a specific amount of alcohol on a regular basis in order to feel normal have one of the symptoms of alcohol depression.

Binge drinkers tend to experience alcohol depression as an acute hangover which passes with time.

When the alcoholic has a low level of alcohol in their blood, the body is so used to having it that they can go into convulsions if they don't get a drink.

Depression and Exercise: How the Body Fights Depression Naturally

Depression and exercise have been linked since the discovery of the runner's high, the euphoric state of well being experienced by people who run regularly.

Endorphins are peptides produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. The natural biochemical make up resembles opiates, and when released into the system act as pain killers, complete with the euphoric state of well being.

At this point, the bodies natural endorphins kick in and you will get a burst of adrenalin energy as well as a euphoric feeling. This release of endorphins and subsequent feeling is what is known as 'the runner's high.'

The Diagnostic Tools for Bipolar Depression Symptoms

While manic depression inferred that the illness fluctuated at an even rate, three weeks of mania followed by three weeks of depression, the reality of the mood disorder is that bipolar depression symptoms can range from weeks to months of manic or high episodes, followed by weeks or simply days of the lows or depression symptoms.

Bipolar depression symptoms are the same as before, they have just been re-identified in length of time.

It is characterized by two polar moods - elevated and despondent, each directly opposite of the other, giving it the name bi, meaning two, and polar, meaning opposite.
