Hm, frankly I don't know. I adhere to the post above for practical advice.
But this is what happens to me: since I started meds and therapy (5 -6 years) I recurrently have depressive episode of about 1 month about twice yearly. I must say, however, that while until one year ago I was always leaving with the dread of this catastrophe that could fall upon me and shred my projects, recently I am starting to see these crisis as part of a healing process. I am changing the way I live, and every new episode pushes me forward on this way. It is painful, no doubt, but I know it is going to pass, and I know what I have to do to make them less frequest and less bad.

The best of luck
