Sorry To Interrupt

Sorry to interrupt the outstanding exchange, however I have a question and want to catch you all here while I can.

Should Bipolar disorder be obvious even if it's type II? I have been depressed for many years now, and usually get feeling very good from antidepressants until they stop working after a while. I have had periods of excessive anxiety and panic, and was thought to be ADHD as a child, but have never had a clear manic episode. Being aggressive and acting out as a child as well as early substance abuse is as close as I can put myself to a BP dx.

I have probably felt pretty close on cocaine and alcohol and antidepressants combo, but that was over 5 years ago, and now the only thing I think I notice is chronic unrelelenting depression and associated anxiety. Still the doc wants me to try Depakote, but I think he's barking up the wrong tree.

Any Thoughts from you tried and true BP's?

I think I'm just a depressed, anxios, and obsessive nut.
