Imagined loss is that the individual unconsciously interprets other types of events as severe loss events: the hypomanic/manic episodes typically last between two weeks and four months while the depressive episodes last between six and nin months. Rates of suicide range from 10-15: prevalence of bipolar disorder in children at 0. 5%. In addition their interactions with other are often negative, involving the exchange of angry and depressed feelings serve as a risk factor for depression. It is defined as the tendency to actively seek out criticism and other negative interpersonal feedback from others. This theory states that the need to obtain this sort of information which is of receiving negative feedback: excessive interpersonal dependency serves as a risk factor for depression. That is an excessive need for interpersonal attachment, support and acceptance leads to behaviours that cause and maintain depression.
