Yes it does.

One question though is when a person is mainly depressive. With a once
in a while. Much over years of maniac. And has a anxiety disorder too.

Can the depressive side be very severe, and it still be bi-polar 1.

My daughter-in-law has just been told in the last few months by her
neurologist. That she is biplar 1. I'm honestly not sure when she was
told. She is just know finally able to talk about it and able to accept it.

In the last week or so. I have seen the maniac side in her in the years
I've known her. But its usually not very often that she swings back and
forth. Or is even just really high. If you know what I mean.

But she has always had anxiety attacks' and has medication for them.

She takes Paxil CR I believe it is. After trying a few other meds that are
also used for bi-polar or depression. Or at least I believe Paxil is. She
is on a couple others now too, I don't honestly know what now.

One for sleeping at night. And one she calls her calming down med that
she takes all the time now. Its a new one for her. She says when she looked
it up it had a tranquilzer in it. So I'm on the look to find out what they are.

She has calmed down a lot, and does a lot better lately. So what ever is going on she seems better. I do believe this was a good timing for him to tell her. And for her to accept the new diagnosis, to go along with the one she knew of depression, and anxiety.
