I have been reading an article at:
http://www.mcmanweb.com/depressionorbipolar.htm
It kind of got me angry.
Apparently antidepressant poop out is now seen (by some) as a symptom of bipolar disorder.
"Says who?", I say. Why is it that the failures of psychiatry are always forcably reframed as a fault of the patient?
In any other illness, if a treatment fails, this does not mean that the diagnosis was wrong.
If a Parkinsons medication poops out, it doesn't mean the patient has M.S. instead. Its called pharmachological tollerance. It happens in with all sorts of other meds.
I wish doctors would stop using bipolar to fill in every blank.
Any comments?
