Thanks folks. Well one thing that I've sort of forgotten. A LOT of my depression carries suicidal thoughts and one hospitilization (that was likely mixed). But so does my agitated mania. How often does situational depression lead to suicidal thoughts? Obviously extremely bad things can drive somebody to that state. But my 'situations'.. which are caused by my bipolar and/or ADHD are very stressful in a lot of ways.. but on top of that I have a great family and live in a beautiful house in the country. To me it seems like the problems I have shouldn't drive me to suicidal thoughts. So perhaps that IS bipolar depression.
