Re: Ask me about growing up with a Bi-Polar parent
katy,
I can attest that psychiatrists (or ologists, I forget which in this case) will diagnose varying degrees of the disease. The aunt I spoke of earlier was pretty much the degree of Fish's mom by description. The person close to me was (their aunt) is a mild case of it according to the diagnosis. They simply put her on an anti-depressant rather than anything like lithium. It made her apathetic toward life in general. I'm not really sure that it was an improvement, but at least she wasn't going through the depression and the manic times anymore I guess.
