Hi Zinya, I do understand your point, I didn't tell you guys before but, my mother had diabetes, arteroescheloris, and high blood pressure, when the sugar was too low and the blood pressure too high she used to have bi-polar disorder episodes. Now, note, that this bi-polar term, is new. Back 8 or 10 years ago, they use to call it. Maniac-Depression, which is very different to the Sadness-Fatigue-Anxiety-Depression.
I remember that during this episodes, she didn't sleep for 3 or 4 days and she was always doing and talking a lot of different things at the same time. Now, I don't recall if she was taking something for these symptons. But I do remember that she didn't suffer that everyday, just two or three times per year, the last time I recall her having some of this Maniac-Depression period, the Doctors had to tied her =( .
Well, that is very sad for me to remember, just trying to see if clears up your confussion about what are this AD's used for.
P.S.Thanks a lot about Paula, I will call her next week. Promise. And I'll let you know.
Hugs, Susy
