> Medical is missing also but how can a medical condition cause bipolar? I read the second link also on nursing newsletter. From what I read it's all the DSM kind of still being revised. And if docs and the government are cutting down on prescribing meds for conditions with more categories wouldn't that mean more prescriptions written? Phillipa
I guess we will have to wait and see what medical conditions qualify.
Regarding substance abuse, I have seen people become bipolar-like with mixed states after detoxification and during abstinence - particularly with alcohol.
