Common Questions and Answers about Bipolar depression treatment guidelines
depression
s I have read question treating the depression without also treating the ADHD (since it could be causing the depression). Tend to agree with you on the Zoloft. And if you are bipolar, its really nasty - http://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.
i just read on WebMD that creatine may be used as a treatment for depression and bipolar. i'm still researching this but wondered if anyone else has info on this and if the info is from a credible source.
Misdiagnoses are extremely common, because the diagnoses are devised more for insurance coverage than their importance to your treatment. Bipolar particularly has become a huge growth industry. There used to be just bipolar, now there are more forms of it than you can throw a stick at. Doubtful any of them are actually bipolar in the sense of how that disorder has traditionally been viewed.
I am trying to get something in writing to show that this decision does not follow within the accepted guidelines for treatment of his form of Hepititis. I believe the Dr. in Az. may have made this decision not realizing he did not have a 12 week blood sample. My son is 43 years old and in otherwise good health. He has not had any symptoms of Hep C nor has he had any side effects from the treatments.
They are very similar and have same symptoms. Manic depression is hyperactivity. And depression is inattentive or withdrawal from interests. Start prescribing the adhd meds for depression or inattentive attention disorder, and, mood stabilization meds for maniac disorders or hyperactivity and leave psychotherapy for environmental issues and coping skills for change.
t different than the treatment for any other kind of depression, whereas the treatment for true bipolar is quite different.
I can always count on you to do the good research!
The main thing is that I know - myself - if I hadn't been diagnosed and received treatment (including Lamictal), I would most definitely be dead. The suicidal ideations I had were EXTREME prior to starting Lamictal.
I just hope that things like this article don't scare people into NOT receiving treatment for bipolar disorder.
One in which you have a family history of bipolar disorder and you become hypomanic only after treatment with antidepressants for a major depressive episode. The problem is that although clinical experience demonstrates that treatment with antidepressants clearly stimulates mania in some people, the DSM-IV and other diagnostic tools all indicate that you don’t have bipolar disorder if your mania or hypomania is brought on by drugs or medications.
From my awareness of a TBI and people I know with one as well, the effects of it can often be confused for something psychiatric. That doesn't mean you don't have bipolar as well but the treatment for a TBI is somewhat different. If your psychiatrist believes that may have happenned to you I'd suggest you have them refer to a neurologist for an evaluation and specific rehabilitation.
I am confident i am suffering from depression and some kind of bipolar disorder. I need medical assistance. Altough i will see a doctor, wanted to check and ask if there are any depression / bipolar working gropus and therapy sessions in Mumbai-India.

Cole DP, Thase ME, Mallinger AG, et al. Slower treatment response in bipolar depression predicted by lower pre-treatment thyroid function. Am J Psychiatry. 2002;159:116-121
"Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus."
Our patients with SLE had a high prevalence of symptomatic and significantly more subclinical hypothyroidism and positive thyroid autoantibodies. Thyroid autoantibodies may precede the appearance of clinical autoimmune disease.
I posted to this, don't know what happened to it. For anyone to help you they are going to need to know what's going on with you, and you need to know that as well. Manic depression is the old term for bipolar, there's not such thing as manic depression with bipolar. Is it possible you have been diagnosed with depression and some newer type of bipolar, such as bipolar 2?
t been easy with the depression. It is not just because of the bipolar----the riba/peg.. when you add fatigue, insomnia, nausea, the brain fog and trying to hold down a job where you have to make decisions--- the fact that your whole life has basically changed to where you do nothing but work and go straight to bed nights and weekends for almost a year.. of course you will be depressed!!! Yes, your family notices that you are depressed ; but they realize it is part of treatment...
Was this part of a question or the whole thing? What is the question about your mother? Are you concerned about your mother's impact on you? Or does your mother have bipolar disorder? I have recovered from schizoaffective disorder but I do have difficulties coping with my mother's bipolar disorder as she is not under treatment yet but will be. So I understand both aspects. But perhaps you could be more prescise for us as to what really went wrong.
