Bipolar can only be effectively managed by stabilising mood. Anti depressants only stop onside the depression. When it is quiet normal for a manic episode to follow depression. Because we have a lack of serotonin in the brain which controls your mood swings. I find this needs replacing with medication that stabilises the mood. This worked for me.

I am going through a bipolar depression and I don't take antidepressants because they didn't prove to be efficient in my last depressions. I wonder if bipolar depression is not just a cycle that we have to go through until it's over. Did you find any improvement when you started to take antidepressants during a depression, let's say after 3 weeks?
