Just to make your Point Six even more confusing: what I have is most likely "monopolar bipolar". That is, the disease which I have is bipolar disorder: depressive episodes have the same onset patterns and emotions as in the depressive phase of bipolar, which is somewhat different than in regualr depression, and it responds to anti-convusive medications rather than to SSRIs; however, I have no manic phase.
So, the disease I have is actually, probably, bipolar without having any mania, even though it presents as depression, which is a different disease entirely, maybe.
