"Bipolar disorder (previously known as manic depression) is a psychiatric diagnostic category describing a class of mood disorders in which the person experiences clinical depression and/or mania, hypomania, and/or mixed states. The disorder can cause great distress among those afflicted and those living with them. Left untreated, bipolar disorder can be a disabling condition, with a high risk of death through suicide."
"The difference between bipolar disorder and unipolar disorder (also called major depression) is that bipolar disorder involves both elevated and depressive mood states. The duration and intensity of mood states varies widely among people with BiPolar disorder. Fluctuating from one mood state to the next is called "cycling". Mood swings can cause impairment or improved functioning depending on their direction (up or down) and severity (mild to severe). There can be changes in one's energy level, sleep pattern, activity level, social rhythms and cognitive functioning. Some people with Bipolar disorder may have difficulty functioning during these times."

I'm already at 300mg. : (
ReplyDeletelamictin's FABULOUS, excpet that it makes me feel dangerously normal. Since my 200mg kicked in properly, not a day goes by without me thinking, "maybe i AM fine and i don't need to meds coz all this is, is just a whole psychiatrist's money-making scheme".
ReplyDeleteThat's my major conspiracy theory by the way, but its probably just coz i'm sick in the head (",)
Isn't it strange how, all of a sudden, the thought strikes you, "Wow, I feel normal!"
ReplyDeleteKind of scary.
