thnx scott-
i guess i am curious if i am bipolar in someway. even though i have been told by numerous docs i am not, i am wondering and curious because i have heard that this could be one reason a person labeled w/unipolar depression does not respond to antidepressants.
or, now that the last 2 years of my life have been what they are i might just be looking at the my past and 'seeing' things that may or may not lead me to believe that maybe i should talk to my current doc about all this bipolar stuff.
i know that i am not classic bipolar 1. but, so much talk about stretching-out the spectrum makes me wonder about my diagnosis.
my longest term pdoc said bipolar takes '7 years to diagnose.' i've already lost 2 years of my life to depression. don't want to wait anymore...
thnx again for any advice/info.
john
