Kate I will look on the internet at this type of illness. I have never felt

I had regular bipolar depression but maybe this is something different.

Please look into Bipolar, especially type II, hypomanic...if it occurs before

age 12, it can be closely related, even coexhist with ADD. I'm living proof.

But I was dx as Gifted in maybe 4th grade, and depression/hypomanic just

over 3 years ago thanks to a friend having it and telling me she thought I

might have depression too...also the ADD...

Love, Kate

Please look into Bipolar, especially type II, hypomanic...if it occurs before

age 12, it can be closely related, even coexhist with ADD. I'm living proof.

But I was dx as Gifted in maybe 4th grade, and depression/hypomanic just
