Abstract: This article, by analyzing a bipolar unconscious pattern, explores depression not merely as an emotional experience, but as a disrupted psychological system in processing and validating internal data. The “divide-by-two” dynamic is not just a behavioral tactic, but a mechanism for reconfiguring the field of experienced data. Simultaneously, the presence of an inner demeaning…

Yet, neuroanatomical reality tells a different story: the principal site for…
