Parkinson's mistaken for bipolar
Hi
For 8 years I was treated for bipolar. I went through the depths of the depressions as well as the mixed states. In the past 3 mo. I have seen 3 neurologists. It turns out that depression is a major sign of Parkinson's. (Believe it or not a change in handwriting is another symptom, so is a loss of smell.) They all said that I never was bipolar. Parkinson's can lay somewhat dormant for 10 years. Maybe we ought to think about seeing a neurologist before allowing ourselves to be put on a lifetime of mind altering drugs.
