Personal experience? Well as a child I was told I had dysthymia. When 23 first panic attack which at the time benzos were in. I functioned extremely well. Had my own Aerobic Dance business, Modeled, made two movie(no not porno!!!!) Ran, worked with a photograher in a big job as a gopher but loved it. Raising three kids while putting myself through nursing school going through a divorce, graduating magna cum laude. If the idiot LPN hadn't joined I'd have been sigma cum laude. Anyway I was the best RN ever till ll years ago and on very low doses of benzos. So low that they didn't count .l25 of xanax then my thyroid went and the high anxiety and depression started so was I depressed all this time and in remission? Who knows as my ex father-in-law had one manic episode during World War II and went on to build an empire and in his 50's another manic episode and he's never recovered. Full blown manic depression now. 85 years old. So do these illnesses wait til we're vulnerable and then rear their ugly head again? Love Phillipa
