i was diagnosed with bipolor 1 type apx 5
yrs ago, I was put on lithium and seroquel
for the episode and I continued with the
lithium for one year
then stopped taking the lithium , my
episode was quite severe, strange thoughts
like I was a prophet on a special mission
from god to enlighten the world,
grandiose, super high , acting like a
child swinging on swings etc..
It has been 4 yrs now with no meds and I
am stable... Have not had any problems ,
ive been able to deal with crisis and
stress without medication
so i'm questioning why people need to take
meds on a daily basis for a mood
disorder?
I often wonder if the physciatrists are
misunderstanding this mood disorder I
guess
