Hi everyone. I am in the process of being weaned off my current meds for depression so I can be put on limactil for "possible" bipolar II. I have asked my primary doctor to treat me in consultation with my therapist as finding a psychiatrist is all but impossible where I live. I say possible because I am just so unsure. I have struggled with depression most of my life. My depression has always in my opinion been directly related to a weight problem I have struggled with since early childhood. Picture one skinny brother one fat sister. I was a fat infant and have battled it all my life with periods of normal weight. I have never been extremely obese topping out at about 185 during my highest periods. Anyhow bipolar has been gently suggested as a possibility twice over the years. I have never agreed because I feel depressed most of the time except on "good" weight days when the scale was kind. Ive always seen it as that simple. Yet there have been periods of what seems in hindsight manic behavior. So I am wondering if you could offer some suggestions on how I might go about looking at past behavior to determine if I may really fit a bpII diagnosis.
