Question
Is bi polar disorder associated with ruminating?
Hi Cindy . . .
Some people with bipolar disorder have an obsessive-compulsive approach to the world. Some of these people will engage in a good deal of rumination no matter what their mood.
Other people while not obsessive-compulsive in general, will engage in a good deal of rumination when depressed.
Best regards . . .
Ivan
