I have bipolar unspecified but likely have had a lesser form of 1. Mood stabilizers for years.
Agree with the comments and questions to and for the Dr.
Having rapids in a day is exhausting. When they combine It's like 2 people with bullhorns shouting at each other at the same time. I lie down. I veg. on mindless shows, I play music or practice at least. I listen to music. Rest is my main need. Like I said, it's exhausting.
What are your experiences with mixed episodes of bipolar disorder, and what treatment options exist for acute onset?
Mixed episodes can be particularly challenging because you're experiencing symptoms of both mania and depression simultaneously. A MyDepressionTeam member with similar experiences might feel the highs of Show Full Answer
No undermining at all. It's a tough road and the pathology changes over time, or so I've read. The depressive becomes more frequent. That may be for bipolar 2.
Mixed states are intriguing but it's been so long since I've not had stabilizers that I can't recall. I know politics can make me manic and I finally figured that out a couple of years ago. I'm wise to the symptoms now, plus med increases.
I think you're doing great. Getting a Cape buffalo, let alone a balrog, by the horns is no easy task.
Prayers and Love 😘🙏😇🌹❤️
