hello d'bora (interesting name)
I have both SAD and am bipolar. I am not a medical person...but I, personally, would not be able to separate the bipolar from the SAD. I have a very unmedical feeling that many bipolar's highs are related to the amount and strength of light in the sky...and probably a variable of other factors.
It's hard, when you feel this good, to take medications that will diminish those feelings, especially after being depressed all winter.
I believe most medical people would suggest you treat the bipolar - because it has a tendancy to worsen over time.
Please feel free to ask me any questions, Janice.
