Susan,
Since you have possibly similar problems, what meds have worked for you? And what caused in your opinion your transition from chronic depression to rapid cycler? Was it an antidepressant? Did you have any inkling that your chronic depression might become somethng else? Did you have rapid and active response to ADs that faded after awhile, for example?Do depressives run in your family? I believe depression (very irritable, volatile types) and anxiety run in my family, and possibly a grandmother with what might now be described as a borderline personality, and a grandfather with possible alcoholism.. No one else but me in my family, however, has been diagnosed for any mental illness nor received any treatment. I am the designated patient for the family, I guess.
