Yes I’m on mood stabilisers etc and I still have mixed episodes regularly and often.
I’m a ‘frequent flyer’ in the psych hospital.
I have to see my pdoc every 1-2 weeks just to stay as wobbly as I am.
My pdoc describes my bipolar as “brittle” in the same way as an unstable type 1 diabetic may be called “brittle”.
