> With antibiotics?Yes. For 20 years the doctors told me I had major depression with bipolar features and schizo features and it was apparently treatment resistant. Most meds made it all worse. None made it much better. I was a regular here for most of those 20 years and deeply into the whole medication and research thing. I tried them all.
At some point a nurse said, "Gee I wonder if you have Lyme disease - it can be mostly psychiatric with a lot of people." And that began a whole new journey for me that made a ton of progress.
My journey has taught me that psychiatric symptoms are not the mysterious brain things we think they are. They are the body's response to ongoing insults from toxins, infections, inflammation, or inappropriate foods. Lyme happens to be all of those in one bundle. I suspect most everybody here has these issues as the cause of their symptoms. Science estimates 3 out of 10 are undiagnosed Lymies. My own doctors estimate 9 out 10 based on their own office traffic and clinical practice. It's all they do.
Something to learn more about, for sure.
