> Some researched the reason for that and had discover that their is a link between social phobia and bipolarity. 80% of social phobic seems to be Bipolar type 2.5 (soon to be called type 4 in the next version of the DSM). This type says that the bipolar is very often becoming hypomanic when put on an AD, but otherwise doesn't have an history of hypomania.
