BP is the best studied as it was the first illness to have a treatment. It does not get better, it gets worse without treatment. It tends to progress, without treatment, into a rapid cycling condition
which is very difficult to treat. One cycle does not BP make & and a manic episode, by itself, does not
mean one has BP. I think it is important to understand these things before we urge others to stop their meds. BP is simply an organic disorder,
where depression can have psychological orgins, so
they are not alike in their orgins, progression, and treatments.
