Along the bipolar spectrum lies a subtype which presents as depression only.

Mine is a form of bipolar disorder where mania occurs only as the result of drug intervention. Otherwise, I remain depressed without respite for decades.

Knowing when you are dealing with bipolar depression helps to develop treatments appropriate for that disorder. SSRIs seem to be of little use. Parnate and Wellbutrin are better choices. Effexor is ok, too.
