Questions for those with bi-polar knowledge

Posted by DL on October 9, 1999, at 22:07:30

I am going to list some questions in hopes that some of you with recent knowledge of bi-polar states can help me out.

1. What is the difference between aggitated depression and mixed state bi-polar?

2. If a mood stabilizer is used, and seems to help, does that mean it is bi-polar? Or, can mood stabilizers work to make depression with aggitation better?

3. For those of you who are bi-polar--I know that antidepressants can send you into hypomania/mania, however I am curious about whether other substances that can act as stimulants can make hypomania worse? Can coffee, tea, chocolate in significant amounts increase the wound up feeling? And, has anyone noticed that hormones affect bi-polar status?

4. Any info on different mood stabilizers? ( (e.g. Efficacy, side effects)?
