3. I saw my old NP and she put in that I had major depression even though I clearly told her about my manic episode and that my therapist and pdoc both said that it was mania. Every time I’ve been on mono therapy with an antidepressant I notice no real improvement.
Make. It. Make. Sense.
Idk I’m just really irate about my old NP & how my life got so messed up over this & being treated for the wrong condition.

I totally get it. I had hypomania brought on by antidepressants while I was inpatient. Under the care of doctors and nurses. They saw me switch, in the course of twelve hours, from down in the basement and then some DOWN to (if I was physically able) doing cartwheels in the day room pumped and excited UP and thought, "Huh." I didn't get diagnosed until two years later
Glad you're feeling better. Finding a med that works is a crapshoot sometimes. I know it was a crapshoot for me. I don't how my doctors and I found what works, but I'll take this even mind and run with it!
