I agree that the three people portrayed were interesting. It was good that they were clearly different, as was their bipolar disorder. course. The golfer seemed to have a very classic type of bipolar type 1. I thought that the female could have had more of a bipolar type 2 or milder type 1. I was more baffled by the young drummer. His presentation was not classic at all. More ultra rapid cycling?

He seemed classically clinically depressed, to me. His med selection was certainly odd.

I recall the drummer saying he was on Valium and an antidepressant only. And didn't he say Valium was more PRN? That's odd. Frankly, if I was in his shoes that med combo would have done me a lot more harm than good. The lady mentioned an antidepressant and an antipsychotic. I think the AP could be considered a moodstabilizer. They sort of are nowadays. As for the golfer, no mention of meds was made, but can we really assume there aren't/weren't in the picture?

Geez, I hope the dude was on meds! Strangely not mentioned. Yes, he was classic BD 1 to the max. Poor guy. I knew someone like him, years ago. The guy would frequent an indie book store and jump up on the counter. The employees were cool; they'd tell him to get down and he would. But then he set his girlfriend's fence on fire and wound up in major IP.

When the lady went to the therapist I was happy that she finally received some, but her optimism after only the very 1st session seemed premature.Not that therapy isn't often very helpful, but who knows if THAT therapist is going to work out.

Haha - I thought exactly the same thing!
