>>This is a unique situation because I only had bipolar "symptoms" once in my life. I agree that is it is BP then it will come back on its own, but I need to go off meds to see if this is the case.
<<Hi again. This leads me to another question. Probably not the board for it, but here goes.
Depression can range from a one-time bout, to very infrequent, to intractable without the use of drugs. It can be treatable with or without drugs.
I know BP is very tricky because of its cycles, but isn't it possible that BP can be a one-time bout, too? Or have a range of severity of cycling? Does it *always* get worse and worse? Depression is very fluid, I guess I thought BP would be the same.
