Question by kiza: Prozac pushed me to mania does this mean i have manic depression?
I was initially placed on Fluoxetine (i have previously been on it about 3 yrs ago) and it pushed me into mania, so i was prescribed Remeron (mirtazepine) and they have been working very well and i feel great. Because the Fluoxetine pushed me into a manic stage does this mean i have bipolar? Im slightly confused ccause ive read that this is often a sign of manic depression?

No. That does not mean that you have Bipolar. Medication designed to modify your mood can push you into either a state of depression or mania. You just needed to find the right medicine for you. Sounds like you have. I wish you well.

Bipolar I Disorder, Single Manic Episode. How would you write for for dysthmia? Do you include the the major category and work your way down? Here’s what I mean: Affective Disorder, Unipolar Depression, Dysthymia. Is that right? It’s for my abnormal psych class. Ugh…

For example, I been feeling really tired of course for the past 3 days now because I have a newborn here with me now! My man says I be looking mean now and I just be feeling like a real pain in the butt but I dont say anything, I dont know what to do?

I’ve been told that the key to solving depression is to locate the problem. What if there is no source though? What if all of a sudden it just comes on me and I feel like there is just nothing left except death? Could this be bi-polar? I’m never really manic. There are just times when I feel sorta stable and others when I get completely bewildered and out of it. I have ocd and anxiety, are these things curable or am I stuck with them. Any info would be helpful?
