I was wondering if there's much difference between major depression disorder and bipolar 2 disorder? It seems when I see a new psychiatrist it gets changed.

My diagnosis from the mid 1990s changed from schizoaffective disorder to bipolar disorder about five years ago. Also read some where that there is some flavor of bipolar with a schizoaffective… read more
Recently my long term partner broke up with me because they no longer were in love with me. In a conversation they told me two people with depression should probably have never been together. Is this a cop out or is there some truth in this? I always believed because we both suffered at different times we would be the best people to support each other as we really understood what the other was going through.
I suffer from depression and so does my husband so it can work it definitely is not easy but so is every relationship and it does help us in ways because we know what it's like think it may be easier… read more

I am diagnosed with severe bipolar I with psychotic features, ADD, OCD, sleep disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. At times I just feel people look at me and can see that I have issues without knowing anything about me. Constantly feeling judged by others. Anyone else feel this way???
My mother. She believes all of this is a bunch of bull crap. And her defense, she has never suffered depression, and does not understand it. Whether it’s my fault or not, I have not been able to… read more
Is there any medicine (prescription) out there designed to treat deep anger? I just have this deep anger inside me and I have an extremely short fuse, I tend to lash out without meaning too and I know this is a part of my BPD but sometimes I feel my anger gets out of control and it controls me sometimes.
I'd suggest an antipsychotic drug like Risperidone, you can read about it here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risperidone I'd suggest you talk with a doctor about your aggression, trying to be as… read more
Just wondering how difficult people found it to get diagnosed.
My mom had told me for many years that my mood swings and anger and talking excessively was from me using cocaine. When my psychiatrist told me I had bipolar I, i was relieved to know it wasn’t from… read more
