Do not be afraid because treatment can restore you to a normal state of mental health

i was gonna make a thread about this too... i feel the same way sometimes. one moment i'm feeling happy and optimistic and the next i feel down and afraid, basically just depressed i guess
though it's not extreme enough to be problem for me
There are degrees of cycling in bipolar disorder. My son actually cycles within the second to the highest category. It's adolescence that's accelerated it for him so dramatically which gives us and him hope for his future.Originally posted by: fyleow
I believe bipolar doesn't happen in "minutes" but I might be wrong. I think it has to be months/weeks of being super super hyper happy for no reason and then really sad and depressed.

My oldest son is bipolar, his medicine "cocktail" has really made a huge difference to him. He is doing well in school and is repairing friendships he had inadvertantly broken.
Just coming to grips with the disorder is the hardest part...
