Depression Treatment Care

I don’t know if it’s commonplace, to be quite honest, because i’m not a psychiatrist and don’t work in the mental health field; however, i do have bipolar disorder.
I can not take antidepressants because they heighten my mood, sometimes to the point of an agitated mania…
Currently i take seroquel at night before bed. Very occasionally i take a xanax for anxiety, but since i’ve been taking the seroquel my moods have been mainly on the normal side, i function well, and my anxiety has lowered considerably.
Everyone is very different when it comes to medications, so my experience is probably not typical of a lot of other people’s.

I didnt think there was any actual cure for this apart from careful monitering from your GP and trying different meds until you find the correct drug/dose to suit. I sympathise as my husband suffers this horrible illness. Try as much as you can to talk to family or friends when you are feeling very low or very manic – it can help and they will support you more if they understand.

he sleeps a lot and has lost his libido doesnt eat much he is either acting silly really childish or opposite says no on loves him wants to be left alone and sulks he is very thin refuses to see he has a prob

she Yells and screams at me sometimes and i try my best to be good to her i want to leave but haven’t found the heart yet because i keep thinking it will get better, and it does for awhile but always goes back to hell!!! Should i stay supportive of her and deal with her temper tamptrums or hit the bricks and start over? And by the way shes 36 im 24!

yes I think so and I also feel that he has post traumatic stress sendrome because he is obviously stuck on something that happened in his childhood probably when he was a child. Maybe someone close to him died or something.
