> interesting that you bring up Kraeplin, i did research on him after i got the dx of BP2. i couldn't seem to find anything that really fit what i was feeling. he identified something as aggitated depression. i liked that description. other T's and pdocs tried to tell me that was a type of manic behavior, but my current pdoc has me down as psychotic depression with bouts of hypmania...which i MUCH more agree with. this seems to fit me better.

What medications does your doctor have you on for aggitated depression? Hope you don't mind my asking.Karen
