Thank you, Random. As often you do, you've given me a good giggle - my first one of this new year! You bring up a valid point: what exactly is the fear of hypo/mania? (For me, I've never reached higher than the top edge of "hypo"). The severe depression is so much more threatening. Odd, how many providers take mania much more seriously, when it's depression that we need to view as a potentially terminal illness.
A happy, healthy new year to you, too, my friend.
