I was always diagnosed a severe chronic depression along with General Anxiety Disorder,,, blah blah blah,I still acted the same and the depression wasn't really taken care of. this was me.

Once I was DXed a BP II and a bit of Border Line Personality and a bit of ADD put on a mood stabilizer and the other meds, I was a new person, someone I like, someone I should of been years ago.

It's a amazing fact that depression leads to Parkinsons in some cases, yet you really don't say that BP leads to Parkinsons.

Depression is yes a part of BP. I wouldn't just go off my meds, get a second opionion or third. Because don't you think people could have both??????

Just analyzing this.

They say BP is heridtery and so is suicide, but in my family history, can't seem to find anyone. Except my cousin's daughter has just recently been DX'ed at 16 at BP.

Nikko and Good Luck
