OKay , so we pretty much all agree or concur....like I have felt and beleived for years.... Atyp Dep. Is much more common than the "leaded" type of depression. It also seems most of us on this board appear to be BP II mixed-rapid cycling and or TRD and a smidge or more of BP "what ever" ---- all we can really do is therapy......(sorry...In my HMO does nothing" or keep fighting for better MAOI's ---- If there are this many sick people out there or here...what are they gonna do. I truly beleive it is a spectrum in which they ( Dr.s or Scientists) could have not seen coming 40 to 60 years ago. It is time to go back to the lab....re-tool. refit. and maybe by the end of the decade we will hopefully see more "wellness" than sickness. Even though many of us fit snuggly in to the BP II mixed....cycling...........category. It is no excuse. There surely must be a reason Nardil and Parnate and Moclebemide and the others worked ....... I know this may sound glib, but if 50 years ago we could send a man to the moon and back, I am sure and confident that our mental plights are not new to the "ssri" era and they can come up with chemicals that will or at least have the ability to at least make us feel like life is worth living or not. The moon is one thing...the Human brain is quite the othe...but not really... if anyone does not understand this post or any parts therin, I will do my best to explain my thoughts and feelings.
