Hi Judy-
Very interesting re BPI to BPII.
I haven't seen your posts re being pregnant. I'm curious, if you don't mind saying, what your diagnosis is, and what meds you are able to take during pregnancy? Also, what are your and your pdoc's thoughts re the possibilities of post-partum depression in a person with an affective disorder?
Thanx, and best wishes,
Cece

> At the recent BP conference in Pittsburgh, one of the shrinks from the Stanley Foundation said that mood stabilizers turn BP1's into BP2's- that is get rid of the mania and have predominantly depressive symptoms (which seems to be your case). I think my hormones are really kicking in here, it's a great feeling. Take care, judy
