Overall I am not angry. I am just angry (I use that word loosly) at certain directions that psychiatry seems to be going in.
I am glad that lithium has worked for you this long. I hope it continues.
I am just saying that there are probably a number of people who may be depressed, and who simply do not respond to serotonin/norepinephrine manipulations.
If you only have two types of tools, and one doesn't work, doesn't mean the other one necessarily will.
Sure its logical to try the otehr path, but I hate to see people beat themeselves up when neither current unipolar meds nor bipolar meds do anything.
I would just like it if doctors said, "we don't know whats wrong. We can try such and such a med and see what happens".
