Hello there....this can all be so confusing. I was misdiagnosed with MDD in 2011. Then put on an AD that sent me into hell for months. I then went for a second opinion. I learned I had bipolar 1. Afterward I read a lot of books and joined this forum. This year I had questions because my pattern changed. I would get manic in spring and summer. Then SAD in fall and winter. Well this year is the first year I had no mania. I learned on here from others that mania sometimes takes a back seat to depression as we age. I’m now 41....I do know I have bipolar 1. I have a lot of the classic symptoms. I’m going to check out the website BeyondtheRainbow listed.
