Hi there. I heard you wanted to learn about bipolar disorder. I have Bipolar Type II
wow I am sure that is hard.  How long have you had it for?
Since my teens. Type II means that I've never experienced a full manic episode, unlike type I
Well thats good.  Do you have to take a lot of medication for this disorder
Yup. I have to take an anti-psychotic called Seroquel. I have to be careful and look after my condition because I have a higher risk of suicide than other people
I am so sorry.  Does the medication seem to help?
It does! it helps keep my depressive episodes at bay. I know I'm depressed when I cry a lot, feel melancholy, and have a hard time looking people in the eye.
Well it's good the mediciine helps.  do you also need to talk with a therapist too/
