My prescription of SSRIs led to a manic phase (uncovered bipolar symptoms), switched to Seroquel as of 3 days ago. Apparently bipolar can present as ONLY DEPRESSION, so unless you get help, you’ll never know. Now I know! Yay, mental health journey!

Thanks Kori. I hope the new meds work out better for you.

Likewise! I also have ADHD (inattention presentation), so I feel you. Honestly no idea how I’ve made it 8 years as a dev so far without knowing. I’m happy you have a diagnosis and some meds!
