> Is there really anything that works for someone with a dissociative disorder? I have been dx with atypical manic depression, atypical depression, and Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. I am starting to think I am not even normal in the abnormal, which....is depressing in itself. I have been on all kinds of anti-everythings over last 8 years and been to 4 different psychiatrists. I have not been on anything in two years. The depression is atypical and the thing that messes me up the most. Does ones brain chemistry change, should I start all over again and see how drugs affect me today bc like with lithium..have not been on it in 7 years.
> Depression has gotten worse over last 8 years.Hey -
You don't sound so abnormal to me, just very unlucky.
I bet there are some special things about you because
you have such interesting brain. And I mean good
things...Treat the depressions - they don't get better
with age and most of the new research shows that
treating depression can actually delay or
prevent actual changes in the brain that come
with depression over time. Best wishes,Sean.
