Hi LauraY,

'Treatment-resistant' means that your bipolar doesn't respond to medication. I still have episodes even tho i am on a cocktail. It's better, to be sure, but i'm still knocked out of the work force, which shames me and makes me feel empty. I'm not one for family life so a rewarding career would have been the anchor of my life, but i haven't worked for decades and struggle with passing the time.

Hope you're one of the lucky ones who responds to med therapy!

Hugs,

Jane.
