new treatments bipolar disorder
What is A Mood Disorder?
Hi. I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Bipolar/Mood Disorder. I am pretty unfamiliar with what all of these means, what to expect as I go through treatment, the different types of treatment available, etc. I know what I was feeling, but don’t know much beyond that. This is a pretty new concept to me… Actually, the whole fact that there is 2 types of Bipolar is new to me. I have been put on Abilitfy. This is also a new medicine for me. I am looking for any information, advice, hints/tips/suggestions, and/or personal stories about either Type 2 Bipolar and/or Abilify. Anything and Everything that you may be able to tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I’m not sure whether or not this will matter, but when I first saw my psychiatrist I was on Celexa. He has decided to keep me on the celexa, but also put me on the abilify. Not really sure the reason for that? don’t they do the same thing?
It means that your hormones are out of balance and that one day you’ll be feeling fine the next it will be like you fell a thousand feet and are greatly depressed.
When you do go on treatment you’ll do alot better and most of the time people when they feel better they think they are better. They’ll stop taking their meds and than they’ll be back where they started from or sometimes worse. So make sure your doctors says its okay before going off of any medications.
I don’t know alot about the Bipolar but my family has a lot of mood disorder problems.
A lot of the little stuff will really affect you, also you must try to be aware of how you treat your loved ones cuz they really don’t know what you are going through.
A new hope for sufferers of Bipolar Disorder
