Re: New therapist, new theories

Thanks for your kind and smart (as always ;) ) answer. It makes sense about how I was feeling while taking AD, although I am not fully convinced of what it implies (I would have suffered all my life from undiagnosed bipolar disorder, without a single manic phase and stuck in a "depressed" ...
