| I've been on Wellbutrin for depression and ADHD, and it seemed to help a little bit for both. The doctor who Rx'ed it said that it's a "third-line" treatment for ADHD. I used to be on meds like Adderall when I was younger for ADHD, and that helped, but there's newer meds out there. I've heard people... |

| But yeah, the label itself is very stigmatising - but changing the label won't remove the stigma until people stop stigmatising the symptoms as much. I'm not sure about this. I've heard people with bipolar say that they noticed a difference after the label was changed from manic depression. There's... |

| There definitely seems to be a lot of manipulation going on, by both your mom and your sister. I can sort of relate to what's going on with your sister. My sister (older) treats me like a second class citizen sometimes and it can hurt. It wasn't until recently that I realized that she's just scared ... |

| Sorry to hear about your bad experiences, Love. Like everyone, I have regrets too, and it can make me scared to go out in public sometimes. Paranoia is something that I live with constantly. Luckily ( :roll: ) I don't just have psychotic symptoms, but I have alcoholism as well. This actually is sort... |

| I just don't get it. I see people saying "I wish I was bipolar" or "mania/hypomania would give me a break from depression" or "you're so lucky to be bipolar." I don't understand it. When I saw a new psychiatrist recently, after I told her about my extreme depression, she asked if I ever had any man... |

| Hey there Kiki, sorry to hear you're not feeling well. The first thing that popped out at me was "most dangerous people have mental illnesses." Do you have a source for that, or is that just what you believe in your mind? I'm almost positive that most dangerous people do not suffer from depression, ... |
