The bottom line is that MDD and BD can manifest physical symptoms. After all, it is a physical disease.

So, how best to medicate. I am revisiting last January Stanford consult. Much of what he said, I'm afraid, I wasn't ready to
hear. With another consult, I can compare and perhaps make a more informed decision. Emsam first, if no real response nardil or parnate (nardil
scares me...?), maybe spiked with a bit of dexedrine. Or rTMS which I'll need to
save for.Pieces, of which therapy is a big part. Graded exercise and lifestyle counseling with a chronic fatigue expert--I now have a scrip :)
Thanks for being here. I so appreciate your input.
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
