Hi,
Unipolar depression is just another term for major depressive disorder, bipolar includes depressive and manic episodes and is the newer term for manic depression. Manic episodes usually have symptoms like little to no sleep, euphoria or irritability, racing thoughts, indulging in too much sex, spending, etc. and sometimes psychosis. I don't think the depressive episodes differ that much, although people with unipolar depression tend to have more anxious states and those with bipolar disorder have more psychotic depression. Hope this helps- judy
