Hi everyone. I'm new here.
I am being treated for depression. I have temporal lobe epilepsy and my neurologist feels that I am very depressed and anxious. Well, I couldn't agree more. He put me on Lexapro 6 months ago but I don't feel any better.

I see a counselor, but she's pretty half-donkeyed, if you catch my drift. My neuro is trying to get me refered to someone who's more on the ball.

So, I have been diagnosed with depression and some anxiety, but not as bipolar, offically. I am going to find out about that, though. I have been having manic episodes since I was a teenager, and I'm 33 now. I'll feel giddy, happy, energetic, inspired, indestructible. For no reason. And I'll just run with it and enjoy it and do things then. But the rest of the time I am so sad that I feel as if someone died.

Could it be that that's why the lexapro isn't working, because it's not the kind of depression my neurologist thinks it is?

Well, anyway, hi.
