Well in my case, the depressive side of
manic-depression was so bad, so alien,
as if someone had given me a poison, that
i would have killed myself. And i would
have killed myself, not in the comfort of
my living room, deciding how many pills to
take or how to do it, but in an impulsive
desperate race to get out of my skin. That's
how bad it feels.Are you bipolar? Have you been in any
of the psychotic states of manic-depression?As for literature, there is plenty on the
suicide rates of untreated manic depression,
and major depression.This therapy you recommend is a nice thing
to have if you are in a more or less stable
state of mind; in a psychotic state, you'd
probably wish they would shut up and take
you to the hospital.Squiggles
