> > I suffer from depression which can chage to anxiety like a switch is flipped. When I was inpt. last week the pdoc I had said that many psychiatrists are starting to put this sort of disorder on the bipolar spectrum. Sure, I get no mania, but I get a more 'active' form of disease in the form of anxiety. It actually made me feel good to hear this b/c I've always thought that this kind of thing may be a possible explanation of my illness.

> - ScottOK, thanks Scott, for reminding me of my earlier post! It is very interesting to me to compare how I felt then to how I feel now. I guess I feel I've moved 'up' on the scale: no more abyss, just really bad depression, which switches to anxiety instead of simple depression. What is most interesting to me is that both times I wrote that it is like a switch being flipped, which is definitely still the case. I really should journal. I am going to share this with my pdoc when I see him on the 17th (no earlier appts. *cry*) And I am starting tegretol tomorrow, so we'll see how that helps. I am going to research trileptal right now as well!
Thanks again Scott
