Now I would be on of the last people to give kudo's to any of the drug companies or research psychiatrists. But, I do think there is such a thing as soft bipolor (less severe) that gets misdiagnoised as MDD along with anxiety disorders. I think it is important to remember that none of the psycho drugs cure anybody of any pycho problem. At their best, they reduce symptoms for a small subset of patients. We don't have a cure for cancer yet either, but we still try with the best drugs we have available. There is no cure for a mood disorder, but we try the best we can to reduce symptoms with psycho meds. I would say that the mood stabilizers are less toxic than most cancer drugs, but they still use them. Just as AD's don't work for everyone with MDD, the same problem happens with all the types of bipolar. Just because somebody didn't do well on Zyprexa, doesn't mean that rules out some for of bipolar.
