GBG - I have no information on my receptor theory because it is just an angle that I had thought of to explain the SSRI sensitivity. I am not sure that is what is really going on. Also, as to the associations, I cannot give firm answers about that, as my information is at work and I can't get at it for another month or so.
I do believe that depression and bipolar disorder are separate syndromes, with different physiochemical mechanisms that manifest as similar disoders (ie. the depression phase of bipolar looks like major depression, but there are probably significant differences between the two).
I would also hazard a guess that panic disorder is comorbid with major depression, but this could only be because major depression is more prevalent than bipolar disorder. I really have no firm answers on any of this, though.
Sorry I cannot be of more help. I am more comfortable with my knowledge of the drugs, rather than the disease states. - Cam
