LISA - I worked in the area of the hospital that dealt with people with depression, OCD, anxiety, etc.   The ADD/ADHD  was handled at a different center. 

Google Bipolar......it used to be called manic depression.  Have never heard of POTS, what is it.

Knuffels,

LISA - Didn't realize until after I posted that we have 2 Lisa's on the board.  When I post to Lisa from Holland I always put "Knuffels" as it means Hugs. 

Did it automatically when I answered your post.

How can I distinguish between you and the other Lisa, will one of you be #1 and the other #2 or will you use your last initial along with your name, or should I use your username?

Hugs,

See, that's the thing...from what I know of bipolar disorder, there are many of the symptoms that are similar/same as those of POTS. Those that aren't, well, they may fit. If so, I've been in a "depressive" phase lately. About a year or so ago, I was more fitting of the "manic" phase. Just not sure, but if I do have it, I think it's a more "mild" case.

I know, I need help!!! LOL

It's up to you, whatever works...My last name starts with G if you want to use that with my first name... or L.G. or Luvs or Gonza...ah ...doesn't matter to me...just don't call me what my DH calls me, please! LOL Although, at times, it's very fitting, I don't much like it. LOL

Still haven't checked out the URL but I will next.   Think when they changed manic depression to bipolar disorder that part of the reason was that bipolar has varying degrees, as you say, it can be of a "mild" case. 

I worked for a psychiatrist who often said that  people with depression and mild bipolar could be helped by just having a friend who listens......to vent is very therapeutic.    Sorry to hear that you have been in a depressive phase lately and hoping that things straighten out for you soon.

LISA G - Like the sound of that!  Do you live in the U.S.   I live in Canada and another board that I belong to has people from all over......England, U.S., Canada, New Zealand and Australia.  I'm the oldie on this board but I love young people.

Is your Icon a picture of you?

Off to look at the URL and then do my income tax return for last year.

Catch you later.

Hugs,

Shirley

You have a nice day.
