——rapid cycling IS a mixed episode. I am so glad we are having these discussions about mixed because I think a lot of bipolars have mixed episodes. This type of bipolar is less understood, but if we talk it up on forums and w ts and pdocs, progress will be made. They will know better how to medicate it etc.
