I just began seeing a psychiatrist this month. I've been diagnosed with major depression since I was a teenager. About 15 years. I talked to him a little of what I have been going through with euphoric periods (mainly when I took celexa, but they were they before just not as frequently) and when I become depressed I am way down in apathetic misery. We didn't touch much on the depression aspect, mainly on the rage iexperience. I can go from almost bubbly and chipper to full on plate throwing hulk smash rage.. in a heartbeat. I started taking Risperdal along with my zoloft back in novembre. It seems to have helped a lot with my depression. Actually í have noticed more of a change w with risperdal that I have with anything else ever. I was taken off of celexa because he believed it was triggering manic episodes. Now I take wellbutrin. I feel hostile at the drop o of a hat, and I have "gently" tossed dishes across my house. Screaming. Like a rabid banshee. I feel ...... not myself. Unhinged. LIke I'm losing touch with myself f when that happens. It's almost daily and it's confusing. My moods swing from really happy to really angry OR really depressed every few days and lately every day. Does anyone e have experience dealing with this type? I'm still trying to understand the terms rapid cycling and mixed episodes....

You may want them to look into Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and discuss if you meet the criteria. It is much more common than Bipolar and the symptoms you describe raise a red flag for it. Good luck
