Hello[edit]

Hi Aylees,

I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to Wikipedia. Thanks for your recent addition to the Drug Resistance article. I noticed you followed the sourcing guidelines at WP:MEDRS very closely, which is great, as a lot of new editors seem to have difficulties with that.

I took a look at your suggested addition to the Bipolar article, but will defer a decision on the proposed addition to that article to someone else, as that particular article is in pretty good shape and I just don't know the area well enough to understand how well the antidepressant material fits in.

If you have any difficulties, feel free to give me a ring. You can send me a message either on my Talk page or right here on your user page, as I will monitor it for the next week or two. Formerly 98 (talk) 12:43, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Formerly 98,

Thank you for your warm welcome! I am glad to hear that I am doing ok so far. I've tried to be very careful about my citations. As for the Bipolar article, I guess I will wait to see if I get any other feedback. I appreciate you checking it out! It's good to know that I have someone to turn to if I have any questions. Thanks again. Aylees (talk) 18:38, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Antidepressant use in depressive episodes of bipolar disorder is a vexed issue - the literature is mixed and somewhat polarised...I do suspect more psychiatrists than not resort to antidepressant prescribing in practice though. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:40, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aylees,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have spoken to hundreds of individuals with Bipolar 1, Bipolar 2, Rapid Cycling Bipolar disorder, etc. Less than five percent of those people agreed that the antidepressant was offering assistance. The others mentioned that antidepressants made the mania worse and they just took antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. Also from my own personal experience... antidepressants are not a suitable for the treatment of Biploar disorder.
