It can take some time to get the diagnosis just right.

Phen-fen diet pills triggered my first mania. Olanzapine is fast-acting and smacks it right down very quickly.

Anyway, I am thankful I’m finally diagnosed. Well, more like I’m thankful I finally accepted it. The lithium seems to be reducing my anxiety.
