In reply to BP II Meds and the Diagnosis-My two cents, posted by Kingfish on June 30, 2001, at 10:12:04
YOu have to register or be registered at medscape to read it, but now I know why I'm dxd BPII even tho it was brought on by AD's, and feel better about my psych since he seems up to date (mostly). http://www.medscape.com/medscape/cno/2001/APACME/Story.cfm?story_id=2248
It actually made me feel a little smug, and relieved because it seems like the figure of 1% of the population having BP is WAY too low, so there's a whole lot more nutty people like me out there :). Either that or they're just DXing everyone, but that still makes me more "normal". If unipolar depression IS related to BP, or at least some of it, then it's got to be a HIGH number of people in this spectrum. I mean I see at least a couple of commercials a day for AD's. Depression is a topic on EVERY health related website. It seems like an epidemic.
