Re: ADHD and Bi-Polar Disorder

[Anonymous]

I was first diagnosed bi-polar 2 but when after a year I would routinely destableize and need hospitalization to get new medication I was re-diagnosed as bi-polar 1 as a “rapid cycler” my mood swings at one time could happen week by week even mimute by mimute at times however they are not super “wild” swings but definately noticeable. Once I was treated to compensate for “rapid cycling” I stablized this was maybe two years ago. Last year I finally got an “official” ADHD diagnosis and was abile to treat it, Believe me I really appreciate relative stability. I remember reading about cyclothymia and its similarity to bi-polar 2 it was an interesting read If memory serves me the book was written by Dr. Kay Jamison who has bi-polar disorder I wish I could remember the titels of the two books I read but they were facinating.

Say Larynxa,

I meant to ask you where did you get your wealth of knowledge?
