When I was 1st told I was Bipolar back in 1997 I was sceptical. After taking Ritalin with Prozac I'd had a very minor episode talking until I lost my voice, obsessively cleaning house all night... I had always had such strong depression so WTH?. I took BP meds (forget what), but had a Major ep. March of 1999. My episode are sexual in nature and I did a lot of crazy things including cheating on my husband. I was convinced after that! But meds have kept me under control since then.
However, my depression has gotten steadily worse and if it wasn't for that major horrible ep. I'd think I wasn't BP at all!
I wish there was more info out there for ppl like us. It seems like info/lit. is all about mania. What about those of us that are depressed and rarely manic???
