I have read some great articles that say if BP people need meds for the rest of their life why are they not getting better and nowadays have much worse outcomes and more hospitalizations
According to what I read on the history of BP
People would actually come our of episodes on their own and recover for much much longer periods before so much medicine was used
How can you say I must be on these meds forever and at the same time never feel good?
Also I think once the BP label is intact patients tend to blame every feeling on BP when most of it is not
Meds for depression can be a must but periods of hypomania that are not dangerous just productive.....there is no reason to medicate that away
