Seems to me that the article states the situation well. Some researchers are genuinely attempting to help people.
After almost 30 years of ferocious depression and strong anxiety, it wasn't until my psychiatrist and I realized that I had Bipolar Spectrum Disorder that I was prescribed the correct medication, lithium, and the depression ceased. One validation of this, aside from all the AD "poop outs," was my mixed bipolar response to Disiprimine, a TCA, which are known for causing cycling.
I believe many people could make better sense of their experience and get more effective help if Bipolar Spectrum Disorder were taken more seriously.--Johann
