I Do Not Know Who Is Right
| Sat, 07-09-2005 - 10:58pm |
My T. says I will always have BP and depression, but that the symptoms can be controlled with medication , therapy an self-help skills.Another T.whom my husband talked with in passing this week told him that BP and depression can be cured. I have suffered from dsepression on and off since before I was in college(I was diagnosed when I was in college).That was a very long time ago.I was just recently diagnosed as BP.Of course I did have periods of several years when I was not depressed and did not need medication, but I always go back into a downward spiral have to go backon meds and to therapy. I know that I will probably have to be on medication all my life. Thanks .Fran

I hope your DH got that tdocs name so we can all go to him for the "cure"--LOL!
Marci,
You said
Can we go for periods of time without meds and do just fine?
Morgaine,
Ya got my vote!
The thing with going on & off meds is catching the swings (either way) before they become a problem.
