I'm not, although I did have depression nearly 5 years ago that eventually went away with therapy and medication. Bipolar disorder does run in my family, but aside from depression, I've never had a manic episode. I made the mistake of telling that quack psychiatrist about the family history, and he briefly put me on Zyprexa which is also for bipolar patients. It didn't matter that the only symptom I had was depression, but the drug made me into a zombie unable to function, so I told him I was going off it because the side effects were too much for me to handle. He was one of those who sees paitents long enough to write a prescription. Because of that experience, I try to find other ways to treat the mild anxiety I have.
