...
Who would argue the biological underpinnings of the severe psychotic episode of bipolar disorder? Who could then deny that the paroxysmal switch into severe depression were not equally biological? ....
Those who have not experienced these bizarre
emotional states, which resemble a physical
illness to the one going through them. Those
who have never had a stroke, never had a
concussion, never had meningitis, never really
had clinical depression, but only dysthimia and
some anxiety-- conditions which CAN be treated
with counselling and drugs, unlike the others, which MUST be treated with drugs. It's the old
"Woodly Allen" syndrome again, confused for
a more serious state of depression, which feels
very different.Squiggles
