Causes of Manic Depressive Disorder

1. Heredity - Present, Strecker, Ebaugh and other Psychologist have concluded that this disease is primarily heredity and there is no doubting that many do have the disease on account of this heredity, but this view does not hold true in each and every case.
   
   
2. Environment - The environment play an important role, particurlarly that of the home and the family.
   
   
3. Physical Disorganization - Some psychologists have attributed the disease to organic disturbance within the body, in particular, disturbances of metabolism, digestive system, mind, blood pressure and endocrine glands.

4. Personality Type - According to Jung the disease occurs mostly in individuals who are extrovert. Kretshmer says that it occurs mainly in the case of a cyclothmic personality type. The explanation of this disease is as unscientific and defective as the concept of personality type on which it is based.

6. Regression and Discipline: In elucidating this disease, lung has laid much stress on the fact of regression towards the anal and oral stages as well as on the discipline of the super ego. This causes feelings of guilt in an individual with the result that he appears depressed. The opposite effect of guilt causes that she/he appears depressed. The opposite effect of guilt causes mania. But all thinkers do not agree on the propriety of Freudian thought in this matter.
