Hi Rick.
Thanks for responding.
Good luck on your lithium treatment. In the past, Parnate was considered a particularly good drug to augment with lithium in unipolar depression, and one of the best treatments for bipolar disorder as well.
From what I have read, rejection sensitivity can manifest in both atypical and bipolar depressions. However, I am most interested in whether both types of depression share mood reactivity as a presenting feature or if it can be used as a symptom to differentiate between the two depressive subtypes.
Are there situations, events, or other experiences that can elicit a substantial improvement in your depression greater than 50%?
