In reply to racing thoughs not always bipolar, posted by linkadge on August 21, 2004, at 13:28:20
This can be very true... I think it depends on how frequently the thoughts occur, and what types of thought sthey are... many tiems people will have racing thoughts when they have panic attacks... everything gets really fast.... the racignt houghts that often go /w Bipolar and/or ADHD are the ones with bits of music goign through your head constantly, conversations, ideas, all that fun stuff... soem people have it all the time (mixed episodes and depression) whereas others only get it during mania... Mood stabilizers and Atypicals can work splendidly for this stuff.
> Racing thoughts can also be a symptom of unipolar depression, especially when the thoughts are negative in nature and accompany anxiety and panic.
