i met with the psychiatrist yesterday and he confirmed what I suspected from my own research--I am biopolar 2.  So now he is weaning me off the antidepressant and I am starting a mood stabilizer.  Interestingly, he doesn't think my anxiety is a separate issue.  He thinks my moods are causing my anxiety.

I suspect this happens a lot. Getting the right diagnosis is critical to getting the right treatment. From what I've heard, antidepressants can aggravate bipolar conditions so it's probably a good thing you are weaning off them. And if the anxiety isn't co-morbid in your case, that should make things less complicated too.


All the best
