My opinion is that Kramer misdiagnosed his patients as "dysthymic" when they were in fact BPIII and became hypomanic on the SSRIs. What he termed "better than well" was probably another manifestation of the same illness, I think. Of course, what do I know? I would only know if I followed up on his patients. It would be interesting to know whether he did and if so, what he found out.

As for me, meds have worked, even though, like most chronically ill people, I have had to do a lot of tinkering. I have had great days but I cannot say that I have ever been transported to a "better than well" state that wasn't hypomanic. I cannot complain though. And any time I think that the meds are not worthwhile, all I need to do is to go off of them for a few days to be reminded of what it feels like to be really sick.
