Bipolar information from the NY Times

[historyteach]

I found this awesome article, loaded with information, from the NY Times Health Guide. I knew I had to share it here with you all.

Bipolar Disorder - Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment of Bipolar Disorder - NY Times Health Information

I've learned a lot over the years about bipolar disorder, (manic depression). But, this just gave me a better understanding than I ever had before. There are multiple links to the article, according to different specific information offered. It's well worth the time to check it out! :

Hope it helps some of you too.

Shalom!

Thanks teach!!

I personally don't like the info about the ect treatments though. They scare me. I have personal reasons for that though, I know that for some people they can work well. My therapist talks about a woman that was so extremely depressed, she could not leave her house, she stayed in for years, and lost a great job. She had the ect treatment, and it worked wonders, and was able to begin a new life, and start working again. I guess there are always all kinds of "stories" out there.. Always best to check things out.

Thanks so much for the excellent info.
Blessings,

Thanks HT..

I am going to ask my doctor about starting a new regime of Lamictal for

for lingering depression. I tried it before and felt so much better than I do now.

We'll see...
